We need your help to determine the best noise wall urban design in the southern section of the Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR) project, via a short survey.

We are asking for your input on the urban design for the noise walls that will connect the two bridge artwork designs as they transition from Djeran (autumn) green and earth tones on the Yalinda Drive bridge, to the Makuru (winter) blue tones on the BORR/Bussell interchange.

It is important to note that the Bunbury Outer Ring Road’s Urban Design strategy was developed in consultation with the Urban Design and Landscaping Focus Group and the Aboriginal Heritage Advisory Group, before being shared with the community for feedback through a public survey in July 2021.

Through these engagements, the concept of the Noongar Six Seasons was chosen to be the central design theme linking to a place and community values theme. Colours of the Six Seasons have been attributed to zones on the BORR to take travellers on a journey through the seasons. Public art and urban design elements have been incorporated onto the infrastructure and aligned to the design themes.

In the southern section two of the commissioned public art opportunities have been awarded; the first to local artist Ian Mutch for the BORR/ Bussell Highway ‘Y’ interchange, and the second to local Aboriginal artists Dellas Bennell and Korrine Bennell-Yarran from Karrak Designs for the Yalinda Drive Bridge. The transition of tones between the two artworks is illustrated in the images below.
