Council is considering the installation of a commissioned sculpture dedicated to Benalla identity, Arthur Baird, the first chief engineer for Qantas and inductee to the Australian Aviation Hall of Fame.
The piece, by Victorian artist Alex Baird is based on a De Havilland DH-50 aircraft and spans more than five metres high. The work is carefully balanced just above its centre of gravity with a horizontal and vertical freedom of movement to move freely in the wind.
The proposed location for the sculpture is outside the Sir Edward Weary Dunlop Learning Centre.
