Such a lovely laneway to walk down each time my husband and I take our dog for a walk. Gorgeous colours and very inviting- a fantastic transformation!!
An amazing job done by all those involved. Thank you for bringing life into the area, and to our community.

This busy thoroughfare is used by commuters to tram, train and bus, families on their way to and from school, bike riders, walkers, locals accessing amenities and shops in Koornang Rd. Currently it is poorly lit, has blindspots and has been used to dump rubbish. We aim for smiling faces and sense of wellbeing as people pass through. A space you look forward to seeing the changes in season, view the art, and satisfaction of adding your own plants. To the community propagated plants we will invite local and student art, install a street library, solar lighting and safety mirrors.
The beautification, increased public safety and safe walking environment will be developed by locals with council support for the benefit of the whole community. The project offers the opportunity to participate in gardening, art works, and a focus for communication and working together. It will be a peaceful, pleasant and safe environment where you can stop and chat, add a plant, take a cutting or swap a book. For the increasing numbers of apartments it offers a garden and peaceful landscape. It gives an ongoing focus for participating, nurturing and creating. A teaching, sharing community in action.

What a weekend it has been in our Laneway.
The neighbourhood gathered on Saturday afternoon to each paint a tile for the Gallery (to be installed when they are weather protected along the Koornang rd entrance), a new mural was started on the old shed, and we installed a collection from local artist Anthony Breslin. I cant stop smiling. People gathering, connecting, having purpose, sharing skills... heartwarming to say the least.
Such a fantastic effort! Thankyou to all involved. I live on the opposite corner and when I took my nieces to school this morning it brought a real smile to my face. Well done!

Such a lovely space for all to enjoy. I look forward to seeing what's been added or grown each time I walk through. Congratulations to all who worked so hard to give us such an improved lane. It lifts my spirits.
I really hope you are given the funds to install lighting and other improvements.
Thank you Catherine. Its given us a lot. Thank you for your encouragement. I will be printing out the comment section and sharing it with the community when the voting closes. It has given so much pleasure.

From a dump that the council cared for by spraying weed killer biannually to a delightful garden - thank you so much for your hard work and care. It is now a joy to walk through!
Thanks Lou. And it smells better too :) Its been a pleasure for us all.

A wonderful adornment to a dreary laneway. I only wish it could be continued though to the lane's end at Tranmere Avenue.

Voting closes tomorrow and regardless of the outcome, thank you for your comments of encouragement support. This little project has brought many people together and provided a positive community focus, a beautiful change in the environment and pleasure to all who walk through. Introduce yourself when you see us pottering in the Laneway and feel welcome to propagate o plant or two and drop them in the ground. Enjoy.
