We are still very much in the ‘work in progress’ stage,
but here are a few “before” vs “after” examples
to show just some of what’s happened so far!
BEFORE
Our raised garden beds are helping spruce up the courtyard.
AFTER
Community members share the job of looking after our new plants.
BEFORE
The closed supermarket space (best known for selling ugg boots to China).
AFTER
The closed supermarket has been replaced by the serene environs of Change Yoga & Wellness!
BEFORE
No-one finds a blank brick wall inspiring!
AFTER
We love Dan Byrd’s rainforest mural.
BEFORE
A boarded up shop said “don’t stop here”.
AFTER
We opened the doors via the Scullin Traders, our gorgeous community entrepreneurship hub.
BEFORE
The courtyard may have been sunny, but it wasn’t inviting.
AFTER
Some of our volunteers responsible for this design for 2020’s Floriade reimagined will soon be turning their green thumbs to the shops’ courtyard. Watch this (soon to be green) space!
BEFORE
This electricity board was covered in scrappy old notices and looked terrible.
AFTER
Dan Byrd’s cockatoo mural made the electricity board look much nicer!
