Art in places you wouldn’t expect is a pretty magical thing, and that’s exactly what the latest mural in Manly is.

The access tunnel from the Pacific Waves carpark out to Sydney Road was identified by the community as feeling unsafe. It’s a long, narrow winding passage and confusing to people trying to navigate out of the Carpark and onto Sydney Road.

Council commissioned local artist Brent Turner (Brentos) to transform a once derelict walkway into art you can experience, and so Brentos set out with the purpose of making you ‘feel happy’ as you walk from the carpark onto the Corso.

So, as you walk down Sydney Road, tucked between acai bowls and frothy coffees, keep an eye out for the doorway to Pacific Waves Carpark and you’ll unlock the secret mural.

The mural was funded under the Federal Government Safer Communities Grant, which is used for improved safety in laneways around Manly by installing a combination of lights, CCTV and murals.
