Details
Broken Hill City Council is committed to safeguarding its public art collection by preserving the City’s artistic legacy and enhancing the cultural value, to ensure that it continues to enrich the lives of residents and visitors. As such, Council invites quotation for the restoration and preservation of critical art pieces which were identified in a public art audit condition report, prepared by specialist firm Grimwade Conservation Services in 2022.
The condition report identified 24 artworks with a rating of “Fair”, all of which require attention due to environmental exposure and other deteriorating factors. This Quotation seeks to comprehensively restore the artworks to their original condition and ensure their long term preservation and aesthetic integrity.
Total expected timeframe is 19-26 weeks, the duration varies based on the extent of community engagement and complexity of the works.
Council requires completion during the 2025-2026 financial year.

Question
:
I would like to put in my interest to restore the Australia Fay mural. How would I go about doing this and is there any way to inspect this work before hand to see how much will actually need to come off before re painting and touching up?

:
Good morning,
Thank your interest in this project. In the first instance, we are looking all the works to be completed as one project and not contracting individual works. The Australia Day mural can be viewed at the Broken Hill Airport.
Please let me know if you require any further details.
Regards
Kathy

Question
:
Good afternoon,
there are 7 sculptural busts of the syndicate of 7 mentioned in the overview of the tender (Q25_36_Request_for_Quotation), but only 6 are present in the individualised documentation. Could you please confirm that one of the 7 is missing from the individualised condition assessment pdf files, and that the treatment methodology for it would be consistent with the other 6 busts?
Thank you.

There are 7 busts in total, treatment methodology for all 7 will be the same. We have now uploaded the missing attachment (attachment 3). Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Kathy
