MERRI CREEK TRAIL SIGNAGE STRATEGY
Landscape Architect: ASPECT Studios Pty Ltd
Client: Moreland City Council and Darebin City Council

The Merri Creek Trail provides a key north south link passing through the cities of Moreland and Darebin.

The Merri Creek Trail Signage Strategy developed a suite of site specific signage of durable construction incorporating sustainability sourced materials and fabrication principles. Through good design, information is clearly displayed including the identification of local items of interest and site safety warnings.

The collaboration between both Councils and the consulting landscape architect is a feature of this project. The project illustrates the important role local government plays in addressing broad open spaces issues through site specific outcomes. The result is an enhanced open space experience for users of the park network. One that sees a holistic approach to outcomes that extends beyond the limitations of municipal boundaries.
