As part of the team’s commitment to leaving a legacy along Craigieburn Road, the project worked closely with local artists and the community to reimagine and reinvent public spaces through a legacy art trail.
With several key intersections being upgraded, the project team identified 15 locations and 30 traffic signal boxes that could be beautified with local artwork to form a uniquely local art trail.
We put a call out for submissions from local artists and received an incredible response, with key themes being connection, culture and environment.
An assessment panel reviewed all submissions and artwork, selecting 7 artists who then curated pieces that reflect the uniqueness of Craigieburn, while also paying tribute to the local flora and fauna.
In mid-December 2024, the Craigieburn Road Legacy Art Trail was officially unveiled by Minister Ros Spence, State Member for Kalkallo at a celebration with the artists and representatives from Major Road Projects Victoria, Department of Transport and Planning, Hume City Council and construction partner Fulton Hogan.
Meet some of the artists and see their work in the video.
The map below shows the location of each of the signal boxes.
