The Revitalising Central Dandenong Project was Australia’s largest urban revitalisation project. Village Well undertook an innovative communication and engagement process that developed a place essence for Dandenong. This process involved the facilitation and support of Dandenong place essence meetings which aimed to establish the place essence of the Central Dandenong area which was to be revitalised through the VicUrban Masterplanning process. This included the presentation of placemaking principles and the role this played in urban regeneration to further develop the skills base of placemaking within VicUrban. This place essence informed the urban design and architecture of the precinct.
Little India Branding Project
The colour, tastes, culture, smells and sounds of Little India in Dandenong are celebrated and embraced through this precinct branding. Part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong initiative, this project aimed to bring the best of India into the streets and add to the shopping experience of this special cultural precinct.
