​The City of Canterbury Bankstown is delighted with the installation of three vivid, eyecatching water tank murals, set to breathe fresh life into our beautiful parks. 

You can find the new murals at:
  • Beaman Park, Earlwood by Maddison Gibbs; 
  • Bennett Park, Riverwood by Brode Compton; and
  • Marco Reserve, Panania by Christina Huynh.
The heart of the project is to shine a light on the importance of water and the natural environment.
The artists were asked to use their creativity to explore the significance of water in the lives of everyone living in our beautiful Local Government Area. 
Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Khal Asfour said the project is a unique initiative to beautify our park spaces and to remember why water is so incredibly important in our everyday lives.
“These are wonderful artworks created by talented artists and are an excellent way to brighten up our parks,” Mayor Asfour said.
Artist Christina Huynh created her “Story of Water” mural at Marco Reserve in Panania.
“The themes of my art are chaos, turbulence, and catastrophe – the waves are symbolic of the perilous journey Vietnamese refugees endure during migration by boat in the late 1970s. The design ends where it begins, describing the organic nature of life with its highs and lows. The petals of the native Swamp Goodenia represent gold and how during times of hardship, water was more precious than gold,” Ms Huynh said.
Artist Maddison Gibbs painted the water tank at Beaman Park, Earlwood. 
“My inspiration is from the ancient highway that Aboriginal people have travelled and traded along for thousands of years. This work shows the abundance of food and life this waterway once possessed. It’s a call for all water ways to be cleaned up, respected and treated as living, breathing entities and vital life sources for the human race,” Ms Gibbs said.
