Brendale Noise Wall Mural
INDO the Artist × Akaysha EnergyThe Brendale Mural is a landmark public art commission
realised by INDO the Artist (Patrick Edward Indo) for Akaysha Energy’s Brendale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Brendale, Queensland. This project transforms a utilitarian infrastructure element
into a bold visual narrative that resonates with community, environment, and innovation.

Context & PurposeAkaysha Energy a leader in renewable energy infrastructure invited artists to reimagine a 50-metre-long, 8-metre-high noise wall adjacent to the Brendale BESS site. Rather than leaving the wall as a blank industrial surface, the intent was to create a work that:
  • Enhances the aesthetic quality of the industrial precinct.
  • Reflects themes of sustainability, growth, and community connection.
  • Acts as a visual landmark for residents, workers, and passers-by near the Wantima Golf Course and surrounding streets.

The commission emphasised bold patterns and meaningful storytelling, inviting artists to
draw inspiration from nature, renewable energy, and local cultural narratives.

INDO’s Vision & DesignSelected as the winning artist for the Expression of Interest, INDO the Artist developed a concept rooted in transformation and resilience.
The mural unfolds like a visual metaphor:

  • It charts the journey of a seed growing into a thriving tree a powerful symbol of regeneration, resilience, and the clean-energy future Queensland is building toward.
  • The dominant palette of greens and natural tones evokes growth, sustainability,
and the vitality of living systems.

  • Through expansive scale and dynamic composition, the artwork turns the noise wall into a public poem of energy and hope where industrial infrastructure meets human aspiration.
INDO completed the mural solo in just eight days, a feat that underscores both his technical mastery and his ability to deliver high-impact, large-format public art under tight timelines.
Community & Cultural ImpactFrom the outset, Akaysha Energy incorporated community consultation into the design process, inviting local feedback to ensure the artwork resonated with its neighbours and reflected shared values.

Since completion, the mural has been celebrated by locals as:
  • A visual uplift to an industrial landscape.
  • A symbol of optimism aligned with the region’s clean-energy transition.
  • A piece that brings identity and pride to Brendale, enhancing the everyday experience of the community.

Why It Matters
This mural is more than decoration it’s a strategic fusion of art, place-making, and sustainability storytelling. In the context of the Brendale BESS one of Queensland’s major renewable energy assets the artwork:
  • Humanises large-scale energy infrastructure.
  • Reinforces Akaysha Energy’s commitment to community engagement and visual placemaking.
  • Demonstrates how public art can elevate industrial spaces into cultural assets that resonate long after installation

Dweeb City Enmore Mural

Abby Koala Conservation Mural
Location: Crescent Head Northern NSW
Mural Wall Size: ( 70 square Meters )
Turn Around time: 8 days

Commissioned by Port Macquarie Koala Hospital & Kempsey Shire Council, the Koala mural by INDO the artist forms part of the broader Koalas in the Macleay initiative an integrated approach to public art, conservation, and community awareness.

Located in Crescent Head, the mural transforms a functional public structure into a visual landmark anchoring environmental messaging within everyday space.

The project gained public traction through council channels, where it was shared across social platforms, highlighting both the artwork and the artist behind it. In their official Facebook post, council draws direct attention to the mural’s presence and authorship, noting it was “designed by a local artist, INDO”
What’s clear is this: the work isn’t positioned as decoration. It’s framed as civic communication.

The mural speaks to a larger narrative. Koalas in this region are not abstract symbols they are part of a fragile, real ecosystem under pressure. The artwork captures that tension with clarity and restraint, balancing aesthetic strength with environmental intent.

From a council perspective, the outcome is strategic. A once overlooked amenities building becomes
a point of engagement. A message that might otherwise be ignored is now unavoidable.

From an artist’s perspective, it demonstrates control. Not just of style but of meaning, placement,
and impact.

This is where public art shifts category. From paint on a wall to infrastructure for awareness,
identity, and action.

Phillips Lane Mural
Location: Phillips Lane Port Macquarie NSW
Mural Wall Size: 27m x 3m ( 81 square Meters )
Turn Around time: 5 days

In the heart of Port Macquarie, a once overlooked service corridor has been transformed into a high impact cultural destination. The Phillips Lane mural project, led by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and supported by the Transport for NSW, represents a clear evolution in how cities think about public space.
This is not beautification. This is urban strategy through art.

Funded With Intent
Where the Project Came FromThe activation of Phillips Lane, including INDO’s mural, was made possible through NSW Government placemaking funding, specifically programs such as the Permit Plug and Play Pilot Program delivered via Transport for NSW.

The objective was precise:
Reimagine underutilised urban spaces, Increase foot traffic and local economic activity,
Support creative industries, Build Insta worthy destinations that amplify organically
This positions the project as more than a creative exercise. It is government backed cultural infrastructure.

The INDO Contribution
Built for InteractionAt the centre of Phillips Lane sits the work of INDO, delivering a mural that shifts from static image to immersive experience.

Spanning approximately 27 metres, the work is engineered to engage:
A bold PORT MAC typographic anchor grounding the space in identity
A life sized butterfly inviting interaction and symbolism
A painted swing seat blurring illusion and reality
A central portrait adding emotional depth and street authenticity

The result is deliberate:
The mural is not viewed. It is used, experienced, and shared.

Media & Public Narrative
A City Level ActivationCoverage from News Of The Area captured the shift during events like ArtWalk
Port Macquarie, where Phillips Lane emerged as a focal point of activity.

The laneway was described as:
Bursting with colour, creativity and energy
Drawing diverse crowds across all age groups
Functioning as an Instagram Alley
Hosting live art, music, and community engagement
What was once a pass through became a destination.

Social Media Gravity
Designed for AmplificationThe mural’s interactive features are not accidental. They are strategically embedded to drive digital engagement, Built in photo moments
Optical illusions encouraging participation
Strong visual anchors that translate instantly online
Council strategy explicitly aimed to create a space that people would not just visit, but broadcast.

This is the shift:
The wall is no longer the endpoint.
The audience is the distribution channel.
Community Impact — Measurable, Not AbstractProjects like Phillips Lane demonstrate the real world value of interactive street art.

Increased foot traffic and local spend
Activated spaces draw consistent visitation, benefiting surrounding businesses.
Stronger identity and civic pride Public art creates emotional ownership.
People connect to place. Improved safety and reduced vandalism
Well executed murals are respected, often reducing tagging and antisocial behaviour.

The Strategic OutcomePhillips Lane has evolved from:
Utility to experience
Hidden to discoverable
Transit to destination

And at the centre of that transformation is a mural designed not as decoration, but as catalyst.
Final Positioning (Mac Style)Phillips Lane proves a larger point.
When executed at a high level and backed by aligned government funding,

a mural becomes infrastructure.
It becomes:
a branding asset for a city
a magnet for attention
a platform for community connection
a driver of economic movement

In collaboration with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and funded through Transport for NSW,
INDO’s work in Phillips Lane does not just transform a wall.
It redefines what that wall is worth.
