an initiative of the City of PAE

Interested in brightening up your street ?

The Paint Ya Pole Project is an initiative of PAE

during COVID Social Distancing and will run from 11 May to 11 July 2020.

The aim is to simplify some of the approval processes and supply paint, equipment and support to residents

who apply to place art work on the stobie pole in front of their house.

Stobie Poles are the property of SA Power Networks. During the timeframe of Paint Ya Pole, a PAE Placemaking

Officer will seek these permissions from SA Power Networks. If you would like further information and guidance please supply the following; Name, Phone, Email Address, Street

Address, and Location of Pole.Identifying and supplying the location of the pole is important (not all poles are available for artwork

– eg if it has a transformer attached)
