Southern Highlands Gallery at Retford Park Working Committee
Councillors will nominate a representative to the Southern Highlands Gallery at Retford Park Working Committee.
During 2018, council considered a number of reports in relation to the establishment of a Regional Art Gallery on the grounds of Retford Park Bowral.
The idea arose and was progressed through artist Ben Quilty.
Mr Quilty coordinated the preparation of a grant application to the state government’s Regional Cultural Fund which sits within the Regional Growth Fund.
In working towards establishing the Regional Gallery including raising the remaining funds for the project, a working committee has been established by Mr Quilty.
The Working Committee will be chaired by Mr Quilty and representation has been invited from various organisations including the NSW National Trust owners of the site, supporters of a Southern Highlands Regional Gallery and council.

Councillors are required to record their votes on this matter.
