What governments need to do?

Governments need to:

• provide art in the public domain supported by best practice public art policies,
  
• provide incentives (such as tax reduction) for private property owners to include art in the public dimension of their project with guidelines to ensure that this funding is secured for the implementation of public art,
  
• protect established and relevant public art through maintenance programmes and heritage listing,
  
• provide a project framework which encourages collaboration between artists and architects, which is paramount to the successful delivery of public art outcomes,
  
• recognise and respect the intellectual property (IP) of artists and architects - obtaining a licence to use the IP created which does not require the transfer of IP,
  
• provide for relocation or de-commissioning in the Commissioning Agreement,
  
• enable quality outcomes through the inclusion of a public art curator in the project team for significant government funded projects,
  
• encourage public debate and discourse, competitions and awards related to new and innovative public art,
  
• encourage public art research (e.g. impact on culture, architecture and place).
