Concept Planning, themes and story curation for two major new exhibit precincts.
Healesville Sanctuary is a ‘must do’ in Victorian tourism. The challenge for us was to create something distinctive to increase visitation, yet complementary to the Healesville style.
The project was about valuing and protecting forests as without them we would lose our iconic Australian wildlife. The interpretation needed to direct visitors to commit to one simple and very doable action: promising to switch to recycled toilet paper.
Graphic panels and interactive activities were peppered in ‘hubs’ along the pathways. Writing was quirky and amusing (Healesville Sanctuary supported my play on words for kangaroo (roo) facts becoming 'trooly-rooly'.
The overall result is a trooly-rooly fun space to explore!
CHI role: Concept planning (with design team), story curation, copy. Collaboration with Xylem Landscape Design, Aeroplane Workshop, Tania Ennor Graphics.
