The Donnybrook Dunny Do Over will transform the front wall of the very plain Donnybrook toilet block, much used by locals and visitors alike, into a vibrant and imaginative community-inspired and community-painted artwork. The team engaged over 250 people, who provided more than 750 comments to inspire our artists to create an image of “what we love about living in Donnybrook.” Project is due to be finished in October 2022.
- Identified the plain front wall of the Donnybrook public toilet block as a high-visibility opportunity to create a vibrant community artwork that would improve a well-used space in Donnybrook
- Secured approvals and coordination with relevant stakeholders, ensuring permissions were in place for a publicly owned site and that project requirements and conditions were met before works commenced
- Engaged the community extensively, collecting over 250 participants and more than 750 comments to shape the creative brief around “what we love about living in Donnybrook”
- Worked with artists to translate community input into a cohesive mural concept that reflects local identity, pride, and place-based storytelling
- Planned and managed delivery including surface preparation, access considerations, and installation planning to ensure safe and practical execution on-site
- Positioned the project as a community-led activation, strengthening ownership and connection while transforming a functional infrastructure wall into a welcoming public artwork set for completion in October 2022
