Bondi Beach Sea Wall

Bondi Sea Wall

The Bondi Beach Sea Wall has been in operation since the late 1970s and has featured a mix of street and contemporary art with strong social and political messages throughout the decades. Over the years, the Bondi Beach Sea Wall has hosted the work of some of the best-known street artists across the globe. Featured artworks have ranged from collages, stencils, pop art, textworks, love notes and memorial portraits.

Two murals have been endorsed by Waverley Council for long-term preservation: The Girl with a Frangipani in Her Hair (dedicated to local girl, Chloe Byron, who lost her life in the 2002 Bali bombing) and the Anzac commemorative mural.

To support the diverse and dynamic character of Bondi, the artworks on the Bondi Beach Sea Wall are constantly changing. Each panel is allocated for a six-month period.

The Bondi Beach Sea Wall is open to artists of all calibres. Artists seeking permission to paint a mural must submit an application online.

Applications are open year-round and assessment panels are convened to review applications every six months for painting permits.
