Last week it was reported that the Berrigan Tidy Towns are looking for community ideas for ‘silo art’ for the water tower opposite the Apex Park.
The committee has received development consent to proceed with artwork on the water tower, and will now start with community consultation to finalise design.
Funding will then be sought through South West Arts and other relevant agencies.
If you have ideas and would like to put them forward, email Carol Cottam on c.cottam@bigpond.net.au or Mark Ryan at equity.park@bigpond.com.

August has been a big month of birthday celebrations.
Bobby McDonell celebrated his 80th birthday last weekend with family and friends, and Sandy Moar celebrated her 70th yesterday.
Also celebrating were Kim Arnold, Andrea Packer, Lachlan Whelan and Austin and Hudson Ware who all share the same birthday - which was last Saturday.
It was a double celebration for them, with the football win the same day.
To anyone else celebrating, happy birthday to you all.
