Revitalisation - Hannay Lane and Telstra Site

PROJECT UPDATE - 20 August 2021

Thank you to everyone who provided the City with feedback on the revitalisation of Hannay Lane. The results have been summarised below.

Reflecting on your experience driving, cycling or walking along Hannay Lane, the shared space design elements (ie painted road path, potted plants, yellow line markings) had the following impact:

• No Impact, I didn’t change my behaviour - 29%
• I proceeded slightly more slowly and cautiously -39%
• I proceeded much more slowly and cautiously- 32%

A total of 71% of survey participants proceed slightly or much more slowly and cautiously.

Which response best describes your opinion of the project:

• This project adds value and vibrancy to the town centre and I’d like to see similar revitalisations introduced elsewhere - 81%
• The project does not enrich the town centre and I would not like to see it reproduced elsewhere- 13%
• I feel indifferent about this project - 6%

So, 81% like it and want more!

It looks amazing and has added a lot of character to Hannay Lane. These projects are vital to enriching our space and bringing community together! Thank you

It brightens the area its interactive, gets people chatting to the artists as they completed the work. It's a bright and interesting pick up to what was a dull laneway/walkway- 100% improvement Thanks

I think the work that has been done to enhance Hannay lane looks fresh and vibrant. Although it is purely just aesthetic it doesn't really have any meaning or significance to the town of Dunsborough. I would have really loved to have seen something that talked about our environment. There was a suggestion about having the 6 seasons of the year as in the indigenous calendar. Hopefully we can do that somewhere else. Thanks for everyone's hard work.

Looks like a Black&Gold, compromised upgrade was delivered for Hannay lane - Sammy's artwork is awesome but misplaced. The Telstra block is much more like what should have been done in Hannay Lane. The bakery backyard is such an eyesore at the focus of it all. In the midst of the project, a sea container was plonked down on the verge by a business owner who had evidently tuned in to the black&gold nature of the works - joy! Such taste! Considering the money some of the businesses are raking in along the lane, it says a lot for their lack of commitment to the local community that their leases/properties appear so neglected - even slum-like in the worst cases.

Beautiful vibrant colours that were chosen I think really elevate the space that was once neglected, making it more appealing and safer.

Brilliant! Please make this long term

The project looks amazing! Love it. Thank you to all involved!

I loved this project, enjoyed the vibrant colours and designs. Very innovative, after all, Dunsborough is a holiday town.

Love it. Love the mural. Have been concerned for some time about the parking, speed, rubbish bins etc. Definitely an improvement. That and Djiljit Mia is fantastic for that corner of town. Where next?

The City of Busselton is proud to partner with the RAC, through its Reconnect WA initiative, for the Hannay Lane Revitalisation project.

This 12-month trial is a great example of testing new and innovative ways to use our streets and public spaces, and we hope projects such as this will help lay the foundations for longer-term changes which support safe and vibrant communities.
