Murwillumbah’s Proudfoots Lane has some vibrant new changes — and the community is invited to help celebrate at the Proudfoots Lane Party.

Business Murwillumbah, with the support of Tweed Shire Council, is hosting this free community event on Saturday 17 May from 3 pm to 8 pm. Locals and visitors can enjoy a fun-filled afternoon and evening with live music, delicious food, family-friendly activities, and hands-on creative fun in the heart of Murwillumbah.

The vibrant transformation of Proudfoots Lane is part of the Murwillumbah Community Improvement Pilot Project, supported by the NSW Government and Tweed Shire Council, to support local businesses through increased visitation.

The project has reimagined Proudfoots Lane – a previously underused laneway in the town centre – into a vibrant, welcoming space featuring public art, creative lighting, local business collaboration, and community-driven events. The precinct now offers a safer, more lively shared zone for everyone to connect, explore, and enjoy.

A highlight of the project is the introduction of striking new public artworks curated by Byron Coathup Art-Work Agency's public art division, Art-Public. These vibrant pieces celebrate Murwillumbah’s unique cultural identity and creative spirit, with murals and lightboxes featuring works by acclaimed local artists, including Leah Bartholomew, Gus Eagleton, Bec Denholm (Binx Designs), Kyle Slabb, Madeline White, Michael Philp, and Thea Skelsey.

The revitalisation was guided by community feedback collected by Business Murwillumbah with support from Tweed Shire Council in October 2024. Locals and business owners shared their vision for a more vibrant town centre, and this transformation is a direct result of that input.

With colourful artwork, creative lighting, and a growing buzz of activity, Proudfoots Lane now reflects the spirit of “Murwillumbah – Wander into Wonder.” It’s a space that invites everyone to experience the best of what Murwillumbah has to offer.
