A report went to Council on Tuesday 28 May 2019, seeking adoption of the Cultural Collection Management and Gifts Policy and the Public Art Policy.

Minor changes were made to the Policies and accompanying Guidelines following community feedback received during the exhibition period.

To ensure that the procurement of public art meets the required quality standards, it is recommended that Council establish a Public Art Working Group consisting of community and Councillor representatives and an expert Public Art Selection Panel to assist in the selection of major art works.

Therefore, endorsement was sought from Council for the Terms of Reference for the Public Art Working Group and the Public Art Selection Panel.

At the meeting Council resolved to:

A. adopt the amended Northern Beaches Cultural Collection Management and Gifts Policy and the amended Public Art Policy.

B. adopt the Terms of Reference and Charters for the Public Art Working Group and the Public Art Selection Panel.

C. nominate Councillors Ferguson, Heins and Philpott as members of the Public Art Working Group.
