On Tuesday, West Wimmera Shire Council announced mural and studio artist David Lee Pereira had completed his painting of a hobby falcon and orchids on the silos.

The council's outgoing chief executive David Leahy said in a statement that it had already increased tourism to the town, ahead of Melburnians being allowed to return to regional Victoria from November 9.

"We are very fortunate to have our own piece of the Silo Art Trail in our backyard," he said.

"People have travelled from all across Australia to view other silo art murals in western Victoria and we hope that West Wimmera Shire can now take advantage of this vital tourism.

"We invite people from all over regional Victoria to come and visit our part of the world, and as COVID-19 restrictions ease, we hope we can open up to tourists further afield."

A spokeswoman said Mr Pereira had chosen to paint what he had "to reflect on the rare beauty and uniqueness of the town".

The Kaniva and District Progress Association was behind the proposal and submitted the Kaniva project to the campaign.

the spokeswoman said an information sign about the Kaniva silos will be installed at nearby Band Park. Directional signs along the Western Highway will also be installed in the near future.

Silo art at GrainCorp's Goroke silos is also close to being finished, with artist Geoffrey Carran painting a mural that includes a magpie and a kookaburra.
