Burns Beach Estate public artworks add to visual appeal

Peet Limited’s beautiful Burns Beach Estate continues to take shape with the recent completion of a series of stunning public artworks adding to its visual appeal.

Talented Western Australian artists Andrew Kay and Coral Lowry were selected from a shortlist of artists, to craft and display their unique vision for the fast-growing community.

Over the past six months they have been working on their pieces and Andrew Kay has just finished putting the final touches on his installations. Mr Kay, said his works took inspiration from the history of Burns Beach as a place where families would escape from the city to their fishing shacks, to enjoy summer breaks and relax in a makeshift paradise.

His creations for the estate include two bronze cast sculptures – one of seagulls surrounding a bucket of fish, and the second of a dog catching a frisbee in the local park, as well as a steel skeleton of a row boat which will be situated in the dunes with a bronze seahorse adorning the
bow.

“The pieces I have created are a small vignette of the history of Burns Beach approached with a sense of humour,” said Mr Kay. “The vision of a dog catching a frisbee represents fun and leisure whilst the seagulls provide the perfect opportunity for kids to explore,” he said.

Burns Beach Estate already boasts enormous recreational benefits with boardwalks leading down to the beach, a look-out tower, barbecue facilities and shelters, outdoor showers and vast areas of public open space.

Peet Limited Managing Director Brendan Gore said the public artworks were an integral part of the estate’s overall design. “It’s wonderful to see the completion of the artworks,” said Mr Gore.

“They will become real landmarks for the estate and add another dimension to the areas of public open space.” “The presentation of the estate is really taking shape and we’ve been receiving really positive feedback from the growing Burns Beach Estate community,” Mr Gore said.

For others looking to enjoy this beautiful coastal lifestyle, there is currently a great range of homesites available throughout the estate and there are more releases planned for the coming months.

The coastal Stage 3B featuring some of the most sought-after land at the Estate has been met with strong demand. There are now nine lots remaining in this stage with an average size of 635sqm and priced from $610,000. Many of these homesites offer stunning ocean views and are all in great proximity to the oceanfront itself.
