The sight of ugly infrastructure can make our streets look very unloved – however Point Chevalier received a bit of loving recently with two utility boxes getting makeover.
I proposed the sites as stand out candidates for the transformation. While the library got a set of travel books, the Category 1 listed historic Oakley Asylum got its façade transferred onto the signal box opposite.
The art works should reduce graffiti and bill stickering while improving placemaking and amenity in Point Chevalier.
