Just after Easter, Kialla's Debbie Smart started an initiative to help the community share positive messages during the pandemic to connect people from a distance.
Since then, the small pile of unpainted rocks has transformed into a colorful display with hundreds of messages from people during lockdown.
Mrs Smart said with restrictions easing, people would have two weeks until the end of May to add their masterpieces to the collection.
“I’m seeking some ideas from the community as to what they want to do long term with the display,” she said.
“Once there's a consensus on what's most popular, I'll correlate the ideas and put it to Council.”
Mrs Smart said she liked the idea of a "pebble pathway" incorporated into a garden where people could stop and look at the paintings.
“I thought Victoria Park Lake would get the most foot traffic, and people would come to Shepparton to see the display like the cows,” she said.
Ideas included concreting them in a circle at Kialla Lakes, displaying them at the Australian Botanical Gardens Shepparton and creating a table with them at the Lakes near the playground.
