Parking Meters transformed into WORKS OF ART
September 2005
150 new GLOBAL Pay & Display Parking Meters have been installed on street for Lane Cove and Willoughby City Councils.
The GLOBAL cabinet has a modern and fresh look lending itself for a variety of promotional applications. The cabinet design allowed Willoughby City Council to use their meters as ‘canvases’ for works of art.
“Willoughby City Council has a public art program which aims to find opportunities to integrate art into the streetscape.” says Paul Gomez – Group Leader Infrastructure & Parking Management. “Council's new parking meters presented a unique opportunity to undertake this artwork. The artwork reflects the natural environment, high-rise buildings and elements of federation style buildings which are all found in Willoughby". The artwork was transformed onto strong UV resistant decals and applied to the front door panels.
The meters are monitored by EZiCom in real time and are able to accept payment by Credit Card ON LINE as well as coins.
