We are delighted to announce that the Dyoondalup / Point Walter play space has won a PLAWA Playspace Award! 🏆
This project was very special for our team. Working alongside Local Aboriginal Elder Aunty Marie Taylor, Noongar artist Sharyn Egan, and the of Melville over three years of respectful consultation and co-design, we brought the story of Djunda, a Wadjuk Noongar spirit deeply connected to this place to life through design, art, and play.
Every element of this space was considered with care: from the tower structure echoing Djunda’s flowing hair, to Sharyn's stunning fauna artworks transformed into tactile sensory panels, to the natural materials and repurposed rammed earth walls that ground the space in its landscape and history.
We're proud to have created a play space that welcomes the whole community, while honouring the deep cultural significance of Dyoondalup to the Wadjuk Noongar people.
Thank you to the City of Melville, Aunty Marie Taylor, Sharyn Egan, and everyone who contributed to making this vision a reality. Reconciliation through design is a journey, and we are honoured to play a part in this.
