An Indigenous mural project has connected young and older community members at Anglicare Southern Queensland's Killara Day Respite Centre in the Redlands.

The mural was designed by Sara, a Waka Waka woman and client of Anglicare's Youth Homelessness Services, who led a group of young participants in creating the artwork over two years.

Sara said completing the mural was a rewarding experience which reflected the Redlands and its connection to the bay.

"It feels good to finally complete this project... it's great to see everyone's hard work up on the fence and many memories have been shared over the last two years," she said.

"When Vicki first asked me if I'd like to design the artwork, it was important to me to include elements that were special to the Redlands and Killara's close connection to the bay.

"The dolphin is the totem animal of the Redlands and the Quandamooka People, so the artwork features a pod of dolphins swimming in the waves."

The mural, painted along the fence of the Killara centre, was completed by a team of up to seven young people working under Sara's direction.

Youth Homelessness Service Coordinator, Vicki Kelly said the project began after a suggestion from the Killara team.

"When our Team Leader at Killara approached me with the idea, I thought this would be a terrific opportunity to get our young people out in the community where they could have some fun, show off their creative flair and engage in a meaningful project that would bring joy to the lives of older members of the community," Ms Kelly said.

"Sara was given creative control of the project and crafted the final design in one afternoon which was incredible.

"She oversaw the stencilling of the linework and, with a team of up to seven participants, completed the colourful mural bit-by-bit over two years."

Ms Kelly said the project also supported participants' wellbeing.

"When young people turn to Anglicare for support, they're coming from a very vulnerable place in life and can be dealing with a range of mental, emotional and self-esteem challenges," she said.

"I heard firsthand from the participants that the activity was positively affecting their mental wellbeing and gave them something to look forward to.

"Being able to provide them with an outlet to express themselves, develop meaningful connections within the community and complete a task that gives them a sense of pride is so important."

The final mural features ocean animals and a calming colour scheme designed to be dementia-friendly for Killara's elderly visitors.
