TWO giant giraffes are bound for Eighth Avenue in Maylands.

Bayswater city council has commissioned artist Anya Brock—renowned her for bold and colourful animal art—to paint the mural at 34 Eighth Avenue.

“The giraffes were selected by the developer because of the shape of the building: tall and narrow,” says mayor Sylvan Albert.

“Once the project is finished, the giraffe heads and necks will peer from the side of the building and look down at Eighth Avenue and the train station, which will be a unique feature to the streetscape.”

The artwork is part of Bayswater’s per cent for public art policy.
