Wellard Village 7 Day Makeover
Like a reality show only real! The Wellard Community came together to make over Wellard Village in just 7 days. Real action! Real results!
The City partnered with RAC through its Reconnect WA initiative, to makeover Wellard Village in just 7 days!
The Wellard Community came together to share ideas, vote, plan, and help deliver placemaking projects over seven consecutive days in April 2023. The Wellard Village 7DM also incorporated a youth-specific element, through which local young people were empowered to plan and deliver their own projects.
The whole process was overseen by David Engwicht from Creative Communities International. David is a world renowned placemaker, community activator, and champion of public spaces.

To prepare and plan for this activation period, we will be running a series of audits, workshops and other engagement initiatives throughout June – July 2022. As a local business we would love to hear your thoughts, and would be eager to organize a time to discuss your experiences and to hear your ideas for the area.
