Now that the furore has long since died down over a sculpture Byron Shire Council commissioned for a roundabout in 2018, I think it’s time for a Council sculpture competition.
I’d suggest going the full bronze on a wallaby being mauled by an unrestrained dog while its owner looks on gleefully as another beachgoer vomits in disgust. It has all the dramatic potential of Rodin’s The Burghers Of Calais, commemorating the distant time (1347) when councillors were prepared to die for their community, and it also would give newcomers a taste of things to come.
