The Metro Tunnel Creative Program has been designed to support the Metro Tunnel Project’s Creative Strategy (PDF, 10.9 MB).

Objectives

• dynamic sites of creativity
• manage construction impacts
• line-wide identity
• welcoming and people focused places
• creative opportunities and engagement
• showcase Melbourne.

The Strategy also states that interventions occurring during the construction phase should be underpinned by the following principles.

Principles

• manage construction impacts – protecting what makes Melbourne great
• maintain the city’s activity and vibrancy – supporting Melbourne’s businesses and residents
• provide opportunities for local creative practitioners, artists and communities during the construction phase as we strive to manage disruption from the construction of the Metro Tunnel
• imagine the city as a laboratory – trialling new ideas and engaging with the project as it develops.
