The Family Place, in partnership with Campbell Page Youth Services, have been funded by Resilience NSW to undertake a series of community art installations to support wellbeing and recovery after the black summer bushfires.
The project, called the Love Hope Renewal, is expected to commence in October and be finalised by December, 2022, according to a spokesperson from The Family Place.
"Disaster recovery expert Dr Rob Gordon's findings indicate that art in its many forms and community gatherings have proven valuable in healing and moving forward from disaster," the spokesperson said.
"The sustained impacts of COVID-19 have inhibited the healing and recovery process that would normally occur, making these wellbeing initiatives even more critical for our community."
The Family Place chief executive Malindey Sorrell said "we are very excited to have the opportunity to be part of this important healing work, and we hope to see more ongoing and sustained investment in the region in the coming years".
The organisation is now seeking community feedback through an online survey which will assist in planning how to deliver, design, and promote the program.
To complete the survey, go to the Family Place Facebook page or contact the Family Place office.
The survey will be open until September 13.
