Project Overview
Brendale doesn’t usually ask to be looked at.
An industrial pocket of Moreton Bay, its landscape is defined by logistics facilities, infrastructure, substations, fenced perimeters and the quiet hum of systems designed to function efficiently and stay largely invisible.

The Brendale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) site presented an opportunity to challenge that perception.

Commissioned by Akaysha Energy, INDO the Artist transformed a 50-metre noise wall into a large-scale mural designed to soften the visual impact of industrial infrastructure while creating a stronger sense of place, optimism and connection to the surrounding environment.

The brief was not simply to make the wall look better. It was to explore how public art could create a meaningful visual transition between large-scale energy infrastructure and the communities and landscapes around it.

Creative Approach
INDO’s creative approach centred on the idea that "it’s possible to do the impossible"—a message aligned with innovation, optimism and the possibilities of Queensland’s energy transition.
The mural’s visual narrative was distilled into three simple elements:
A seed | A tree | A sun.

From this starting point, the concept evolved into an abstract visual journey of growth and transformation—moving from a single seed through organic expansion toward the energy and optimism represented by the sun.

The imagery avoids literal environmental storytelling. Instead, organic forms and green tonal fields interact with the engineered geometry of the industrial structure, creating a visual tension between nature and infrastructure.

The result is a mural that acts as a translation between the two: a visual expression of how engineered systems and the natural environment can exist within the same landscape.

Project Delivery
The scale and location of the project required a highly considered and professional approach to execution.

INDO delivered the mural across a 50-metre noise wall within an active energy infrastructure site, working within established safety protocols and site requirements.

The project involved:

• Initial consultation and understanding of the site and project objectives.

• Development of a custom mural concept aligned with Akaysha Energy’s vision and the Brendale context.

• Visual planning and design development to ensure the artwork translated effectively across the full scale of the wall.

• Professional execution of the mural across a large

horizontal surface.

• Careful consideration of Queensland's climate and environmental exposure.

• Use of high-quality materials and protective coatings designed to support longevity.

• Working within active industrial site safety requirements and operational constraints.

• Detailed attention to consistency, scale, colour and composition across the full 50-metre artwork.

The mural was designed to work at multiple distances—creating a strong visual impression when experienced in motion, while revealing greater depth, texture and abstraction when viewed up close.

Project Outcome
The completed mural transforms what was once a long, functional industrial boundary into a visual landmark within the Brendale precinct.

Rather than attempting to hide the infrastructure, the artwork changes the way it is experienced—bringing colour, movement and meaning to a structure that previously existed primarily as a physical and acoustic barrier.

The mural now provides:

• Visual uplift within an industrial environment.
• A distinctive landmark for the Brendale precinct.
• A symbol of optimism and possibility aligned with Queensland’s energy transition.
• A stronger sense of local identity and pride.
• A meaningful connection between energy infrastructure, community and place.
• A demonstration of how large-scale public art can transform functional infrastructure into engaging visual environments.

At Kendall Skate Park, INDO doesn’t simply apply paint to concrete
he completes a civic intention already in motion, where council planning, community need, and youth culture converge into a single functional artwork.

Commissioned as part of the broader redevelopment led by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council, the mural forms a key visual layer within a $600K+ public infrastructure investment. The objective was not cosmetic. It was strategic: to transform a previously underutilised and aging recreational site into a high-activity youth destination with long-term cultural and social value.

The challenge faced by council was typical of many regional public spaces — a dormant site with legacy infrastructure, limited engagement, and minimal identity.

The former Kendall Tennis Club courts had reached end-of-life use, creating both a spatial and social gap in the community. Rather than demolish and replace with a purely functional facility, the decision was made to reimagine the site as a skateable, youth-driven civic hub.

INDO’s response was a design-led intervention grounded in movement, durability, and place-based identity.

Spanning approximately 715sqm across bowls, ramps, transitions, and flow zones, the mural is not an overlay, it is integrated into the skate geometry itself. The design was engineered to work with rider lines, sightlines, and flow dynamics, ensuring it enhances rather than interrupts performance. In this context, the artwork becomes kinetic, activated by skateboards, scooters, and BMX riders moving through it.

The purpose was clear: create a “contemporary and striking design” that strengthens place identity, resonates with youth culture, and withstands the physical intensity of daily public use. INDO delivered a surface that functions as both infrastructure and cultural signal,
a visual language of energy, motion, and ownership.

What once was a disused court has been redefined as a destination. The mural acts as the visual anchor of that transformation, turning a forgotten space into a recognisable landmark within Kendall’s public realm. It now operates as a community gathering point, a recreational drawcard, and a subtle driver of regional visitation through skate culture.

In practical terms, the project resolves three core issues: underutilised public land, lack of youth engagement infrastructure, and absence of visual identity. In cultural terms, it replaces vacancy with belonging.

Kendall Skate Park now stands as a fully realised community asset, where function, infrastructure, and contemporary street art operate as one unified system.

In the Inner West of Sydney, where laneways bleed into live music venues and everything feels slightly amplified, Dweeb City lands like a signal flare on brick.

Painted in 2023 by INDO the Artist, the mural stretches roughly 17 metres wide by 7.5 metres high across the side of a two-storey terrace at 1 Metropolitan Road, Enmore. It didn’t start as a fantasy universe. It started with a brief from Inner West Council: represent women in Newtown and Enmore—visibility, presence, voice, cultural weight.

At the time, the laneway itself wasn’t much to look at. A run-down inner-city passageway defined more by neglect than attention—rats, the smell of urine, and the usual accumulation of urban waste that gets ignored in plain sight. It functioned, but barely. A forgotten connector between better-known streets.
From there, things shifted.

Instead of a literal portrait of place, INDO pushed into research-led storytelling—digging into identity, archetypes, and the kind of exaggerated femininity that exists somewhere between pop culture and myth. The concept that emerged was Dweeb City: a fictional “girl band from space,” part satire, part celebration, part neon-drenched mythology built for the wall.

What followed is a mural that behaves less like decoration and more like a visual broadcast.
Hard-edged pop aesthetics, loud colour blocking, and high-contrast composition drive the work—pinks, purples, greens, yellows, electric blues cutting through black and white like a poster ripped from an alternate reality. It feels designed for maximum impact at street level, where pedestrians don’t so much “view” it as they absorb it mid-step.

At the centre sit the band members—stylised, oversized, expressive—existing somewhere between punk zine illustration and psychedelic comic strip. They’re not portraits. They’re characters. Alter egos. Symbols of attitude and imagined identity.

Threaded through the composition are slogans and fragments—Inspire, Love, Girl Power, Kindred Spirits, Hope, Happiness—not as decoration, but as interruptions. Little declarations breaking through the noise of the image.

Set just behind Enmore Road’s strip of bars, restaurants, and live venues, the work plugs directly into the Inner West’s cultural bloodstream. It doesn’t sit outside the scene—it feels like it was pulled from it. A visual extension of the same DIY energy, music culture, and late-night creative spill that defines the area.
And something else changed with it.

What was once an overlooked, slightly avoided laneway transformed into an urban totem of art and visibility. The kind of place people now seek out rather than pass through. A destination point. A marker of identity in the neighbourhood’s evolving cultural map. The mural didn’t just sit on the wall—it recalibrated the experience of the space, reframing the laneway as part of the Inner West’s quirky, increasingly curated edge of creativity and street-level culture.

Executed with precision and efficiency, the work balances scale with clarity, complexity with control. From a distance it reads as impact. Up close it breaks into layers of character, symbolism, and graphic rhythm.
Since its completion, Dweeb City has settled into the local landscape as both landmark and reference point—a wall people don’t just stumble across, but intentionally go looking for.

Ultimately, it sits in that Vice-era intersection of subculture, visual storytelling, and urban myth making. Not just a mural about place, but a fictional system inserted into a real one—and left to reshape it.

A heritage Victorian terrace house in Enmore, Sydney’s Inner West—this is the architectural backdrop to Dweeb City, a work that sits directly within the suburb’s layered urban history.

Like many of the late 19th-century terraces that define Enmore and Newtown, the structure forms part of a tightly held streetscape of narrow lots, rhythmical façades, and dense urban continuity. These buildings are a core element of the area’s heritage character—reflecting Sydney’s early residential expansion and the enduring visual language of terrace housing that still shapes the Inner West today.

Set within this context, the mural reactivates the site’s presence—bridging contemporary street art with the enduring material history of Enmore’s built environment.

This large-scale industrial mural was designed and painted by Australian mural artist INDO at an industrial facility in Brendale, within the Moreton Bay region of Queensland.

Inspired by Melbourne's vibrant beer culture, urban street art, and contemporary graffiti movement, the artwork centres around "Umbrella Girl"—a monumental female figure holding an umbrella, surrounded by subtle tributes to hip hop, graffiti, and pop culture. Combining bold composition, expressive colour, and large-scale visual storytelling, the mural celebrates creativity while bringing energy and character to an industrial setting.

Created to transform a prominent outdoor warehouse wall, the artwork delivers colour, identity, and lasting visual impact, strengthening the business's presence and creating a memorable local landmark. Designed specifically for a commercial environment, the mural features premium professional finishes and durable exterior coatings suited to Queensland's demanding climate.

Projects like this demonstrate how large-scale murals can revitalise industrial buildings, warehouses, factories, commercial developments, breweries, hospitality venues, and public spaces throughout Brisbane, Brendale, Moreton Bay, and regional Queensland.

Whether you're a business owner, property developer, council, government organisation, or commercial property manager, a professionally designed mural can transform ordinary architecture into a distinctive visual destination that reflects your brand, tells a story, and creates lasting value for employees, customers, and the wider community.

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.
