Bog Beautiful Community Mural

A paint by numbers mural project in which local residents are invited down to help paint the first layers of the design.

The project would be held at the Montague Bay public toilet block on a weekend. All ages and skill types are invited to be a part of it. The mural is finished to a high standard and will be added to the #Bog Beautiful toilet trail the artist is running all over Tasmania.

Public Toilets are an essential asset to travelling and enjoying areas around Tasmania however they are usually not the most beautiful of buildings. Painting such structures make them a feature of the area as well as being more welcoming. Creating community painting projects, the aim is to create buildings of wonder featuring local native flora and fauna species.

The project brings the community together to create something beautiful that will be in their area for years to come.

Sustainability Hub


Bayview Secondary College has a strong focus on being a sustainable, practical and community minded school. With this in mind, the school is fitting out an existing building as an educational Sustainability Hub centred around aquaculture, horticulture, and agriculture on the premises of Bayview Secondary College. This project will not only benefit Bayview students but also the wider community, including primary school and Year 11/12 students living in Clarence, as well as local groups and associations. Support from the Bank of useful ideas will help to purchase raw materials and then the hard work will be completed by students, teachers and a strong community network.

Produce Market that is dog and family friendly!

The Produce market is held on Saturday’s at Kangaroo Bay and benefits the Rosny/Eastern Shore community by providing a platform for people to come together and learn more about local businesses and a place to simply catch up with friends and family over a coffee. The market attracts people to the broader area that will discover other services which in turn creates a benefit economically for many. The support from Bank of useful ideas will help to level up the current market with regular space for emerging local musical acts, provide more seating and tables, or offer space for not-for-profits to raise awareness.

Out of the Box Market

The vision for the Out of the Box Market is to raise awareness of and showcase the abilities, talents, occupations, and microbusinesses of people with disability. Organised in partnership with Clarence City Council, the market would run on a date to coincide closely with International Day for People with Disability.

The market, hosted at Southern Support School, is open to attendees of all ages and abilities from Rosny and the greater Hobart area. It is a unique opportunity for these attendees to see and experience the huge range of ability and skills people with disability in their local community have to offer through the provision of a range of goods and services.

Rosny Library StoryWalk

A series of permanent stands on the grass in the front of the library and on the path leading up to the Clarence City Council building. Each one of these stands would house a page from a children's picture book. This book could promote local authors, illustrators, and Tasmanian themes, and may even incorporate other local events in the Clarence municipality.
A StoryWalk would provide multiple benefits to the Rosny community. It is a free activity that focuses on literacy, reading and storytelling. It encourages a healthy outdoor lifestyle and family engagement within the local community. It will activate the spacious, well-tended grounds on which the library is situated. It is a free activity that families can do together any time, regardless of when the library is open. The proposed area for the trail is flat and accessible.
