    We are magicians and alchemists turning green beans into golden coffee, fighting against the darkness with every caffeinated chalice and hand-crafted doughnut. We practice our mystic arts surrounded by houses of ill repute, dark alleys and dumpsters.

    Unfortunately with darkness comes vice and we are plagued by delinquents and those who would seek to destroy our livelihoods and steal our gold. We have secured our fortress with alarms and bars but alas security is not enough. We wish to speak to the people through the art they call their own.

    We have searched far and wide to find an artistic champion to transform an ugly brick wall into a bastion of community engagement. We seek to create a place shared and respected by all that brings together the fiefdom of McCoy Street.

    We'd like to create and nurture a small patch of bush for birds in Mt. Pleasant; just behind the Glenelg Street Fish and Chip shop. The surrounding area is home to Wattle birds, Black Cockatoos, Red Capped parrots and a beautiful, mournful sounding Boobook Owl. Many of these birds are losing their homes as urban infill sees the clearance of established trees - some of which predate European settlement in Perth. Our aim is to transform Harry Bridle Park - now a sandy old stormwater drain - into a fragrant and dense home for local bird life, which could also be a pleasant place for people to relax and learn more about our local bird and insect community.

    George Humes Park commemorates George Humes, an Indigenous man who promoted reconciliation in the area in the 1940s. He would be delighted to know that our project will invite participation from the whole of community to make it happen and benefit the whole community.


    The park, next to Willagee Library, needs cheering up and making more user friendly. We would like to start by having a water fountain installed there, as there is nowhere for all the kids, parents and others to get a drink of fresh water, while there. The fountain would have a splash bowl, so dogs out for a walk can have a drink too. Once it is installed, our local community will do some landscaping around it to make the fountain look terrific!


    We would also like to install some robust solar lighting. There are many people still around central Willagee after sunset, visiting the nearby library, Community Centre and dance studios and we want them to feel safe when sitting in or moving around their park. On hot summer evenings, the park is a pleasant place to rest, and the lighting will improve both the look and safety of the park.
