Request for quotation for a Public Art Master Plan
Mosman Council seeks quotations from suitably qualified consultants to prepare a Public Art Master Plan. The Master Plan will provide a strategic and creative framework to guide the commissioning, placement and care of public art across Mosman over the next decade and beyond. The successful consultant will work closely with Mosman Art Gallery and Council staff to develop a plan for the strategic management of public art across Mosman that celebrates Mosman’s identity, acknowledges its Indigenous and non-Indigenous heritage, and supports the ongoing presentation of artistic excellence in the public realm.
Mosman is home to a rich cultural heritage and environment, with a strong history of community engagement in the arts. The area holds deep significance for the Cammeraigal and Borogegal Peoples, whose presence is marked by important cultural sites across the region. The consultant will be required to deliver a comprehensive 10-year Public Art Master Plan that includes:
· Research and mapping to identify and prioritise six to eight strategic public art locations.
· A treatment plan with curatorial narratives and artistic themes for each site.
· Stakeholder engagement across Council, Mosman Art Gallery, First Nations representatives, community groups, local artists, schools and businesses.
· A review of the existing public art collection, including condition assessments and conservation requirements.
· Recommendations for repositioning existing works where appropriate.
The plan will provide a coordinated approach to future public art in Mosman, including:
· A clear 10-year strategy for commissioning and management.
· Support and consolidation of the existing public art collection.
· Responses to public usage within public spaces and infrastructure renewal.
· Opportunities to foster cultural experiences that strengthen identity, celebrate Indigenous and local narratives, and attract visitors.
· Alignment with Council’s broader strategic planning, heritage and cultural frameworks.
Please submit your application by 2pm Monday 8 December 2025.
The preferred consultant will be awarded on 12 December 2025. Monthly reporting will be required, and the final Public Art Master Plan is to be submitted on 1 June 2026.
