About the project
Works to make Berhampore a more attractive, pedestrian friendly village began September 2023 and are set to wrap up mid-April 2024.
The scope for these works includes making it safer and easier for people to move around Berhampore by re-asphalting the ground and remodelling the steps and planter walls outside of Sprig + Fern and along Luxford Street and Adelaide Road. Additionally, this scope includes installing furniture, street art, plants, and seating throughout the intersection.
The remaining onsite works from our team include adding this seating, a bulletin board, and wayfinding signage to the area. These works are happening onsite between 7.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Local students from Wellington East Girls College have teamed up with talented artists, Ruth Robertson Taylor and Tracy Underwood to bring a stunning new mural to life as part of the upgrades. This mural is currently being created outside Sprig and Fern, and we look forward sharing more about the process in an upcoming Our Wellington story.
Traffic management
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the final installation works. There will be crew onsite to help vulnerable users access the space where necessary. John Fillmore Contracting (JFC) are responsible for carrying out these works.
