The water tank on Scenic Hill will be brightened with a colourful mural, but the theme is yet to be decided.

Heesco has seen stunning positive responses to his previous silo murals, that can be seen in places like Weethalle, Gunnedah, Harden, Murrumburrah and Grenfell. Griffith City Council have narrowed options down to four potential themes, but have put the call out to the community to make the final decision between the four.
