Consideration may be given to the removal of long-term installed artworks from public places when the artwork ceases, materially or conceptually, to function as an integral artwork. The Public Arts Committee Kentish is responsible for assessing the collection and decommissioning.

Decommissioning would generally be undertaken in instances where:

a) The artwork no longer functions materially;

b) The artwork has been irreparably damaged;

c) The artwork has physically deteriorated to a point where public safety is at risk;

d) Changes to the environment impact on the integrity of the work, adversely affecting the Artist’s original intent;

e) The artwork has faults of design, material or workmanship;

f) Artistic merit of the work falls below the level to which the collection aspires;

g) Maintenance of the work is financially unsustainable;

h) There is legal evidence the work belongs to another party.

The final decision to decommission an artwork rests with the Public Art Committee Kentish. Where the work resides on private property, the PACK will work with the property owner regarding any decommissioning to be undertaken.

Upon decision to decommission, the artwork is to be disposed of in the following descending order of priority:

a) Offered back to the artist for an appropriate consideration;

b) Transferred to an appropriate collection for an agreed consideration;

c) Sold to approved buyers with the consent of the Artist;

d) Donated to a recognised charitable institution; or

e) Sent to a materials-based recycling depot.
