The City of Merri-bek delivered an inclusive Pride Flag pathway at the front of Michelle Guglielmo Park in Brunswick, creating a vibrant public symbol of diversity, equality and inclusion.
To ensure the installation would perform as both public artwork and public infrastructure, Council required a durable, slip-resistant surface capable of maintaining vibrant colours in a high-traffic pedestrian environment. OmniGrip Direct CST was selected for its proven performance on bespoke flag murals and community artwork projects.
