Brimbank City Council in partnership with Melbourne Water, Sunshine Business Association and Friends of Kororoit Creek commissioned artist Kathy Holowko to deliver a litter action mural in Sunshine. The aim of the artwork is to invoke behaviour change around littering by engaging the audience with the consequences of litter on the natural environment, and animals through intriguing imagery. This mural not only encourages the community to make a connection between litter and the environment but also strengthens the connection to Sunshine and its local waterways.
