Pride Mural Maylands

Consultation has concluded

Pride mural, people dancing

Proudly celebrating diversity in the community, the City of Bayswater seeks to understand how we can best represent the LGBTQIA+ community in a new mural in Maylands.

Background

In 2021 and 2022 the City committed to understand how the City should priorities to support the LGBTQIA+ community. Rainbow Polls were run at various PrideFEST events and online. The outcome from the 2021 poll, indicated that the key areas to focus on were Education, Safety and Visibility. The 2022 poll sought to build on these themes and specifically asked, "How can we encourage conversations about LGBTQIA+ inclusion year-round?". The most popularly supported initiative was LGBTQIA Public Art and Exhibitions.

The location of the new mural will be in the Maylands town centre: which is a destination for fantastic food and drinks; quirky and unique retail offerings; and has an established trail of street art amongst the historic laneways and heritage buildings.

Engagement

The City ran both an online and in person engagement campaign from Friday 3 November - Friday 1 December 2023. Two pop up engagement stalls were held during this time, one at the Maylands Street Festival, Saturday 11 November, Eighth Avenue, Maylands and one at Pride WA Fair Day, Sunday 12 November, Hyde Park, Perth.

The engagement process sought to ask peoples general thoughts on the project and to share their ideas for the mural – either via an image/photo (online), or a drawing (in person mural board) and descriptive words.

The engagement for this project has now closed.

Please find the outcomes of the engagement detailed in the Pride Mural Maylands Community Engagement Outcomes Report.

The City is pleased to announce that the artwork has now been installed. To see the design and read the news article click here.
