The Lookout

As an extension of our Sunbury Community Arts and Cultural Precinct, Council is proud to be working with Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation to create a new lookout at Jacksons Hill.  

The lookout will be located on the south-east corner of the Sunbury Community Arts and Cultural Precinct on Jacksons Hill, Sunbury.   

The lookout will connect people to the landscape and waterways between Melbourne and Jacksons Hill through to Lancefield and educate community of the importance of land conservation and connection to country through First Nations songlines and story lines.   

Jacksons Hill has been identified as a location of cultural significance for Traditional Owners (including social and spiritual), as a directional marker, and as part of Naarm (Melbourne) - Koora Koora Cup (Sunbury area) – Wil-im-ee Moor-ring (north of Lancefield) songlines.   

This project aligns with the current Council Plan and Creative Community Strategy.

Public art for The Lookout

The lookout will feature work from Connecting Worlds/Fast Lane Designs (Sam Richards and Hayden Roberts).  

Sam and Hayden are Wurundjeri and Dja Dja Wurrung siblings who specialise in digital artwork as well as paintings and mural work. Their collaborative practice focuses on starting conversations about change, truth-telling and reflection on the deep historical narratives embedded in the Australian landscape.
