Marian State School has been busy beautifying their town thanks to a Mackay Regional Council’s Activate My Place (AMP!) Program grant.
The school was awarded $10,490 from the 2021 round to establish public art that has potential to be an economic driver for tourism while adding to the region’s growing list of murals. The school engaged artist Joel Fergie.
Additionally, the 2022 round of funding of AMP! is now open with $30,000 currently available for placemakers, artists, musicians, businesspeople and community members to submit their creative ideas to activate public spaces across our region.
AMP! aims to empower communities to create places where people feel connected, resulting in more engaged communities, thriving local economies, and an enhanced quality of life.
Council is keen to work with communities to identify projects that will activate the local pockets of our region for the benefit, pleasure and wellbeing of our communities and visitors.
Applications are open from January 25 until April 8, 2022.
To find out more information about the AMP! placemaking grant program please contact council’s Economic Development program via email business@mackay.qld.gov.au or phone (07) 4961 9587.
