Visitors to the Melton Waves pool will be greeted by more colour with new mural artwork across the windows, designed to provide privacy from the outside world for those using the facility.

The window art was installed by Melton council after feedback from the community said that a perceived lack of privacy prevented some people from enjoying the pool.

The mural provides window frosting that allows pool users to look outside, while being screened from those passing by.

City of Melton mayor Goran Kesic said the Melton Waves Inclusion Project aimed to welcome people from diverse backgrounds while providing a privacy screen between pool users and pedestrians or road traffic.

“We wanted to provide opportunities for people from all backgrounds to swim in a safe, inclusive and friendly environment,” he said.

“Facilities like this enrich the lives of our residents, improve health and wellbeing, and help make our city a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.”
