PUBLIC ART COMPETITION TO CREATE PLAYGROUND
A national public art competition is being held to create an innovative playground on Newcastle’s harbour foreshore.

The public art playground will be located in Worth Place Park which will become a feature at Honeysuckle, one of Australia’s largest urban renewal projects.

Worth Place Park is part of the $300 million Lee Wharf development project. Retail shops, offices, restaurants or cafes will open onto the park and playground.

The Worth Place Playground is an exciting opportunity to create a major artwork in specific response to Newcastle’s distinctive maritime and industrial history and setting.

The competition is open to designers in a range of professions from public artists to landscape architects. Designers are also able to collaborate on a submission.

The total budget for the public art project is $195,000 including promotion, design, construction and installation.

Design submissions need to address a range of criteria, will be assessed by an expert selection panel and are due by 5.00pm Friday 23 June 2006.

A design brief and resources is available on www.honeysuckle.net from 19 May.
