Public Art Initiative

Logan City Council has received $1.02 million under the South-East Queensland (SEQ) City Deal Public Art Initiatives program. Council has submitted the Public Art Initiative: Centre Functional Art Trail project to the SEQ City Deal for approval and expects an announcement from the City Deal in last quarter of 2025.

The artwork locations have been selected as they meet the SEQ City Deal guidelines, the objectives of the fund, deliver on Council’s Urban Art Strategy, and enhance the built environment.

The Public Art Initiatives is a commitment under the $1.8 billion SEQ City Deal between the Australian Government, Queensland Government, and the Council of Mayors (SEQ). It is designed to enhance place-making and promote a more liveable South East Queensland region through Public Art and Architecture.


Public art projects - In progress



This project has been submitted to the SEQ City Deal for approval. Thank you to everyone who provided input and to artists for their expressions of interest and selected artists that provided concepts. Council resolved in August 2025 to increase the scope of the Centres Functional Art Trail, and progress two SEQ City Deal projects with five artists.

Project description - Installation of a functional art trail with art installations to serve a dual purpose of being functional objects and artworks. They may take the form of sculptural seating elements, shade structures, bike racks and play elements. Functional artworks can provide platforms for rest, relaxation and recreation, and add a distinctive flavour to the urban environment and should provide “Instagrammable” opportunities across centres across the city from major, district, neighbourhood to local centres in Divisions 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10, 11, 12.
