Having outlived its time as a public art piece at the Peppin Heritage Centre, the ute was put into storage and replaced with a scrap metal ute sculpture created by local artist Stuart Taylor.
But it was never intended to stay hidden for long.
After a bit of a refurbishment, the mosaic ute is now on display at Ute Muster HQ at the muster site.
The mosaic ute was an ongoing community project to transform utes into a unique art piece that celebrates rural culture, landscape and Deniliquin’s place as the Ute Capital of the World.
The removal team lovingly collected some tiles which fell off and they intend to glue these back on.
The Ute at it’s new home at Ute Muster HQ.
New Tip Hours
Hours have been reduced at the Deniliquin Landfill Depot temporarily.
Edward River Council said due to public feedback and compliance reviews, hours will be reduced for maintenance and important environmental compliance work.
Starting Monday, and lasting about three months, the depot can be accessed between 8.30am and 1pm daily.
“By reducing our opening hours to the public, council will be better positioned to address the issues currently affecting the community and environment, including rubbish being blown into neighbouring properties, pile compaction, improvement of the facility aesthetics and odour control,” council said.
For more information, contact council on 5898 3000 or email council@edwardriver.nsw.gov.au.
