A petition has revealed that Forbes residents are strongly opposed to the Pyramid sculpture to be placed in Albion Park.
More than 200 people have signed the petition opposing the sculpture, with organisers claiming 90 per cent of businesses, shop owners, employees and customers were opposed to it.
The life-size bronze sculpture loaned to Forbes by world-renowned sculptors Gillie and Marc features human bodies with dog and rabbit heads in a pyramid formation.
The 700 kilogram sculpture is currently being stored until it is erected.
Many people who signed the petition liked the idea of a sculpture trail along the Lachlan, but they felt that it should feature sculptures relevant to Forbes’ history.
Most people were against the Pyramid sculpture saying it was “offensive”, “pornographic”, “not for children” etc.
The results of the survey will be submitted in a letter to Forbes Council.
