Kippax Lake sculpture and fountain

Unique IDPC-000029Creator/ArchitectSculptor: Diana HuntTypeFountainDescriptionThe fountain and sculpture is located in the centre of Kippax Lake. The sculpture is of a female athlete.

In November 1964 the Council gave approval for a public competition, under conditions laid down by the Sydney Fountains Committee, to obtain a design for a figurine to recognise the achievements of Australian sportswomen over the years. The adjudicators selected a design submitted by Stephen Walker. However the Council thought this did not convey the desired spirit and instead a design by Miss Diana Hunt was erected.

The plaque reads:
“Fountain and sculpture was erected by the Council of the City of Sydney in recognition of the achievements of Australian Sportswomen. Design and Sculpture by Diana Hunt. 28th October 1967. JH Luscombe Town Clerk. Ald John Armstrong, Lord Mayor”.
