The Sunbury Road Upgrade has built a new bridge over Jacksons Creek, complete with a stunning mural on the retaining wall.

We wanted the artwork on the mural to reflect Sunbury's significance to the community, and asked the community to be part of this project by sharing ideas on the mural themes. We also asked for expressions of interest from artist's who would like to paint the mural.

Community preferences were assessed and a final decision on the mural themes were made in August 2023.

The end result producing a mural that reflects the heritage of the Jacksons Creek, celebrates distinct flora and fauna and acknowledges Sunbury as the birthplace of cricket’s legendary Ashes urn.

Minister for Transport Infrastructure Danny Pearson and Member for Sunbury Josh Bull were joined by Australian test legend Nathan Lyon and Big Build Roads Program Director Dipal Sorathia to unveil the continuous 40-metre-long artwork along the underpass of the bridge.

Now complete, the artwork which took 4 weeks to create, has been treated with an anti-graffiti coating to ensure it is protected against vandalism and can be enjoyed by the public for years to come.

Artist, Ervin Molnar shares his passion for Sunbury and public art. Watch the video to get to know the artist.
