Ballina Public Art – Potts Wall Mural

Bringing colour and creativity to the heart of Lennox Head, this striking mural by artist Graham “Potts” Porter adorns the water reservoir at Kings Court Reserve. The artwork celebrates everyday life in Lennox Head, depicting scenes that reflect the community’s connection to its natural environment, surf culture, and relaxed coastal rhythm.

With its bold composition and sense of movement, the mural transforms a functional structure into a vibrant landmark — one that tells the story of Lennox through art, light, and local spirit.
