With so many things to see and do in Kingston, we are working to make it easier to find your way around your neighbourhood.

We want to make it clear and simple for people of all abilities to be able to enjoy Kingston’s many parks, cycling/walking paths, shopping precincts and more.

Kingston has developed a draft Wayfinding Strategy and is keen to hear from our community on whether we have got it right.

By providing signage that is easy to see, read and understand we hope to make Kingston an easier and more enjoyable place to visit for all.

We are aiming to provide consistent, functional signage that provides important information, while keeping Kingston looking good featuring:

• Inclusive, DDA accessible information that is easy for everyone to use
• Informative and useful but non-intrusive design
• Information needs to be clearly and consistently structured
• Consistent look and feel
• Integrates with surrounding environment (ie: park furniture) to reduce visual clutter
• Links with public transport and major destinations
• Appropriately sized and located to suit pedestrians, cyclists and (where appropriate) motorists
• Use maps that are oriented the way the user if facing
• Robust materials that are easier to maintain and repair.

The draft signage designs also feature artwork from artist Heather Kennedy, a proud and well-respected Elder of the Palawa Trowerna from the Trawoolway and lairmairrenner clans of Northeast Tasmania and Bunurong women from Victoria. Heather has been painting for over 30 years and has a passion for creating visuals and stories, sharing culture through art. The artwork featured is titled Coming Together to Meeting Place As One.
