The second set of indigenous artwork panels by Bunurong artist Adam Magennis has been installed in the hilltop location on Hall Road.
The panels have been created to celebrate the natural fauna indigenous to the lands of the Bunurong people.
The six panels are located at a newly installed rest area between Edinburgh Drive and Taylors Road along the new shared walking and cycling path, delivered as part of the Hall Road Upgrade.
These six art panels feature designs of the Ringtail Possum, Galaxias Fish, Eastern Longneck Turtle, Eastern Blue Tongue Lizard, Marsh Frog, and the Latham’s Snipe, all local animals indigenous to Bunurong lands.
Each of the panels is designed to naturally weather and rust on the surface.
These works will illustrate the different seasons in accordance with the Bunurong calendar, further adding to the artwork’s impact and will indicate where the sun sits during the seasons of the traditional owners of the land.
These six panels are part of a series for the project, with five more art panels installed in the transformed green space on Cranbourne-Frankston Road.
Major Road Projects Victoria’s support of Indigenous employment and businesses is a major part of our Program Delivery Approach (PDA), which ensures all MRPV construction partners meet social procurement requirements to support Indigenous businesses, social enterprises, and jobseekers from across Victoria.
The Hall Road Upgrade completed major works nine months ahead of schedule in March this year.
The Hall Road Upgrade works in unison with other completed and ongoing Victoria Big Build projects, such as the Lathams Road, Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road, Western Port Highway and Thompsons Road Upgrades to improve infrastructure for the rapidly expanding south-east region.
