Expressions Of Interest

Riverina Indigenous Artwork Project

INCENTIVE OPPORTUNITY Local Land Services reconciliation vision is to enrich, enhance and foster respectful relationships that create opportunities for First Nations peoples and other Australians to work and walk together toward reconciled, resilient communities in productive, healthy landscapes.

Riverina Local Land Services is seeking Expressions Of Interest from local community groups and/or councils to partner with us to deliver an indigenous art project in the region. This project is designed to create a major First Nations peoples artwork that is significant to the community and assist in enhancing art and tourism in the region.

To be eligible the artwork needs to be located in a highly visible location in the community that will promote and/or enhance tourism and must be within the Riverina Local Land Services region (see map on next page). Funding to the value of $10,000 is available for eligible community groups and/or councils to partner with Local Land Services in implementing a large scale artwork project in the local community. The $10,000 funding must be matched and make up a maximum of 50% of the total cost of the works. The funding can be used in conjunction with other government or non-government grants or investments.
