Willunga Mainstreet

Posted Friday, 9 March

Nearing completion is the Willunga Mainstreet project. Mulloway collaborated with WAX Landscape Architects for the City of Onkaparinga in developing a unique main street for Willunga Township. The team also engaged with the community to refine the proposal.
Overarching guiding principles recognise the significance of Willunga as a community and place with a continuing history-both Aboriginal and European. A story-telling approach is embedded in the design, with incidental interpretation throughout the public realm. Urban elements include small fragments of stories, quotes from oral histories or artworks that ‘provoke’ the viewer into asking questions and others with detailed history of place, people and industries.
The street is allowed to speak for itself—an external museum gallery with stories located at key points on a journey. Particular elements include inlaid brass strips with graphics and text, and bespoke street furniture including street bins, parklets, bike racks and seating, with materials referencing Willunga’s local traditions.
