Past YAC Projects

In April 2022 the Youth Advisory Committee transformed a Chapel Street substation by painting a mural under the guidance of artist Queensland-based artist Alison Mooney. The Committee worked together to develop a project brief, researched and communicated with various artists, and assisted with painting the mural on the day.
