What happened
The City of Stirling council rejected a request from developers of the Nedlands Reserve precinct to reduce their public art contribution. The $456 million project, delivered by Human Urban, was required to produce public artwork valued at 1% of the total development cost. The company sought to reduce this contribution to 0.75% and proposed a precinct-wide art plan instead.
