Trangie Action Group treasurer and committee member Andrew Cayzer said the group aims to promote the “lively little town”.
“It’s certainly not a dying town, especially with a number of new businesses,” Mr Cayzer said.
The first mural has been installed in Bicentennial Park on Dandaloo Street and features local farmers from Trangie’s past.
Mr Cayzer said that the Trangie Action Group are aiming to fill the walls in town, and under next year’s council budget have received approval to paint a mural on the water tower.
“There’s no limit. There’s quite a few walls in town and we’re working our way towards the water tower,” he said.
Each mural will feature local people from Trangie’s history, and feature a plaque sharing who contributed to its establishment and the history behind the image.
Mr Cayzer said that the artworks are a community co-funded project with the first mural being sponsored by the Lions Club.
Narromine Shire Council have also been granted $2500 under the Community Arts Support Program which will contribute to the project.
Narromine Shire Mayor Craig Davies said that council are proud to be assisting the community in bringing to life “such a great program”, which brings the community together with businesses and volunteers.
