About the Boola Dilbi artwork

Boola Dilbi is the name of the background art and this translates to 'Many Living Leaves.'

Boola is the Nyoongar word for many and Dilbi means living leaves. Here, the Nyoongar word for many was chosen in the name to represent the abundance Kwinana has to offer in culture and opportunities. The word for living leaves was also selected to reflect the city’s growth and to highlight that Kwinana is a place where Nyoongar culture is celebrated and living as it is home to many Nyoongar residence.

As Kwinana is known for its many trees an artwork featuring leaves was fitting. The colours are the secondary colour featured in the Hero Graphic, with the introduction of the light yellow which was created to retain constancy in the image.
