Akaysha Energy Australia
Location | Brendale Queensland
Scale | 50m x 8m | 400sqm
Budget $120,000 – $300,000+
Time | 8 days

Project summary
Akaysha Energy commissioned a large-format mural to transform an otherwise industrial noise wall at their Brendale BESS site into a visual statement about sustainability, community and renewal. INDO was selected through Akaysha’s public Expression of Interest process to develop and deliver a clean, modern design that speaks to renewable energy and local identity while deterring graffiti and creating a welcoming streetscape.

Challenge
The brief required a design that would:

• Suit a 50 × 8 metre concrete noise wall, visible from South Pine Road and neighbouring properties;
• Reflect themes of sustainability and community while remaining bold and simple at distance;
• Be delivered safely and efficiently on an active BESS construction site, complying to OH&S requirements and site access protocols;
• Provide long-term durability and low maintenance in the QLD climate.

Akaysha’s process emphasised community input, sustainability themes and a simple, bold pattern suitable for large scale execution.

Solution
design & deliveryINDO developed a concept built around growth and renewal — a seed-to-tree visual language executed in a modern, geometric pattern of greens and natural tones. The approach intentionally uses large, bold forms for high-impact viewing from the road while allowing closer inspection of layered detail. Community feedback shaped final colour choices and motif placement to ensure the artwork reflected Brendale’s identity.

On delivery, INDO painted the full extent of the wall solo — completing the 50 m × 8 m mural on-site in 8 days. The on-site program was coordinated with the client and construction team to maintain site safety and minimise disruption. Social and media posts document the build process and the final installation.

Safety, compliance & logistics
This was a professional construction-site mural requiring full compliance with site safety rules. For this project INDO supplied:

• Valid White Card and Working at Heights procedures;
• EWP (elevating work platform) operation as required for an 8 m height;
• OH&S project documentation and site induction compliance;
• Public Liability insurance and other standard commercial insurances

Outcome & impact
A previously utilitarian structure became a landmark that communicates Akaysha’s commitment to renewable energy and the local community.

• The bold, simple pattern increases visual amenity, helps deter graffiti, and creates a positive first impression for passers-by and neighbours.
• The mural was delivered on-schedule and on-budget with minimal site disruption thanks to pre-planned logistics and professional site coordination.

Kendall Skate Park
Client: Port Macquarie-Hastings Council (NSW Government + PMHC Co-funded)
Location: Kendall Skate Space, Graham Street, Kendall NSW
Completion: 2024
Surface Area: 715sqm
Project Type: Public & Community Art — Outdoor Skate Space Mural
Budget: $40,000 – $120,000+
Time: 14days

Project Overview
The newly developed Kendall Skate Park was transformed into a vibrant community destination thanks to a dynamic mural painted by local mural artist INDO the Artist. Commissioned as part of a major recreational infrastructure upgrade, the mural extends across the skate space and visually energises the park — reinforcing its role as a welcoming, inclusive hub for youth and families. pmhc.nsw.gov.au+1

With more than 715 sqm of skate features, including snake runs, moguls, bowl sections and quarter pipes, the Kendall Skate Space has become a standout recreational venue. The mural plays a crucial role in enhancing the park’s vibrancy and identity, providing both aesthetic appeal and creative expression for visitors. The National Tribune

Challenge
The brief called for a design solution that would:

• Activate a large outdoor recreational environment with a bold, visually engaging artwork;
• Enhance the skateboarding ambiance while preserving the surface integrity and functionality of the skate features;
• Fit within the broader public works program funded by the NSW Government and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council;
• Be delivered seamlessly in an outdoor, weather-exposed environment. The National Tribune

This project required creative design vision as well as careful technical planning to integrate art with a high-use, activity-driven space. The mural needed to be both visually exciting and durable under heavy foot and board traffic.

Design & Artistic SolutionINDO developed a mural concept that celebrates movement, community, and skate culture — using vibrant colours and dynamic forms that act both as visual wayfinding and a celebration of local youth expression. The entire skate area was painted with skate-enabling coatings, meaning the artwork complements the physical activity on site without compromising performance or safety. The National Tribune

The design considered:

• Visual impact at scale: bold patterns and colour fields that read clearly across large distances;
• Functional performance: surface coatings that maintain grip and usability for skateboarding;
• Community resonance: a mural that reflects local pride and inclusivity for all ages.

Execution & Delivery
INDO oversaw the full mural installation from concept through completion, including:

• Collaborative consultations with Council and community stakeholders;
• Design development tailored to the park’s layout, surface types, and usage conditions;
• On-site execution of mural painting, including surface preparation, specialised coatings and protective finishes;
• Coordination with Council’s construction program and site safety management. The National Tribune
• INDO’s professional approach ensured that the mural was delivered on time, met all technical and functional requirements, and activated the public space with minimal disruption to the park’s opening schedule.

Outcome & Community Impact
The Kendall Skate Park mural has contributed to:

• Enhanced place-making: Turning a functional recreational space into a visual landmark within the community; KENDALL - NSW
• Community engagement: Serving as a focal point for local skate events and gatherings, including skate jams and workshops; News Of The Area
• Youth activation: Encouraging active recreation and creative expression among young people and families in the region; KENDALL - NSW
