We can develop a strategic framework of opportunities and feasibility across precincts. With Wyndham City we have created place led activations, wayfinding, and public realm infrastructure improvements to revitalise local centres and enhance economic development opportunities for community and businesses. These initiatives range in impact from ‘meanwhile’ and temporary to semi-permanent improvements. Photo credit: @peterfosterphoto and @mamam_aus Landscape Architecture & Urban Design & Placemaking
PLACEMAKING: ‘POP UP’ ACTIVATION: TARNEIT, VICTORIA
PLACEMAKING: ‘POP UP’ PLAY: DIGGERS REST, VICTORIA
Little colourful huts were designed as a playful reference to the ‘shelter sheds’ that Caroline Chisholm created in 1855 for the families walking from Melbourne to the Gold Fields in Ballarat. Little bits of gold paint are an accent throughout the space in collaboration with Rightside Creative. Bright colourful stripes have been painted on the footpath around the park in the same palette.

Bayside's market gardens inspired the activation at Small Street in Hampton. In 1840, much of the southeastern suburbs were rural growing spaces for fruit and veggies. A community space, with accessible timber decking, outdoor seating, planter boxes and painted stencilled footpaths was created at the end of a street.
