Autumn leaf street sweeping program underway
Toggle dismiss alert

The Autumn leaf street sweeping program is underway and focuses on streets lined with deciduous trees. We aim to blow and sweep leaves on these roads and footpaths on a fortnightly basis for a ten week period, usually between the months of April to June. Delays in sweeping may be experienced due to weather and higher leaf falls.

Hawthorn Community Centre Mural by Elizabeth Close and Jake Holmes

An indigenous inspired mural inspired by the water from Brownhill Creek and the natural surrounds.

Hawthorn Community Centre Mural

Artists: Elizabeth Close and Jake Holmes
Project cost: $12,000
Location: Hawthorn Community Centre, 5 Frimley Grove, Hawthorn
Installed: 2018

Artists Elizabeth Close and Jake Holmes painted an indigenous inspired mural on the Hawthorn Community Centre in December 2018. The water from Brownhill Creek and the natural surrounds were used as inspiration for the art piece.

Hawthorn Community Centre nestles alongside Brownhill Creek which has extensive cultural heritage and is surrounded by the Soldier's Memorial Gardens.

"This project was so organic in that Jake and I designed as we moved around the building, responding to the environment and the walls. The result, we think, lifts the entire space, and we have had so many comments from City of Mitcham residents as they’ve walked past." Elizabeth Close, Aboriginal Artist.
