Tamworth Regional Council with the support of the Tamworth Local Aboriginal Lands Council has unveiled an Aboriginal artwork element which will feature in its corporate branding.

Gomeroi artist Tess Reading’s submission to Council will be rolled out in 2025 across a range of assets to better reflect the significant role that Aboriginal people have played and continue to play in our community.

“Almost 10,000 Aboriginal people call the Tamworth region home, and to be able to include the story and the voice of Aboriginal people within the corporate branding of the organisation is a really historic step,” said Councillor Marc Sutherland.

Ms Reading’s artwork was selected after Council called for expressions of interest from Aboriginal artists with a connection to the Kamilaroi/Gomeroi Nation to create an artistic element for inclusion in its corporate brand. “I am honoured to have my artwork selected by Tamworth Regional Council. I am a proud Gomeroi woman and have grown up in Tamworth. It is really inspiring to see my culture represented throughout Community. This artwork depicts the land and communities that spread across the Tamworth Regional Council footprint,” said Ms Reading.

Elements of the artwork will begin to appear on Council’s letterheads, business cards, signage and uniforms in 2025.
