Bathurst Regional Council has installed the Blue Bee Mural sign, the first sign in its Wayfinding signage series.
Wayfinding signage directs residents and tourists around the Town Square and beyond. As users explore what Bathurst has to offer, they will identify key heritage sites, navigate to museums and public facilities, and find shopping areas. The history on the signs will educate readers along their journey through the CBD, revealing the human stories underneath the built environment.
The CBD Wayfinding signage project forms part of Council’s Streets and Shared Spaces program aimed at revitalising the CBD. It was developed in consultation with local historians, community members and the Wiradyuri Traditional Owners Central West Aboriginal Corporation (WTOCWAC). The signage will be installed in a staged process, prioritising Wiradyuri stories first. Later installations will include stories about the Chinese of Bathurst, Irish colonial women, and our museums.
The full stories can be accessed via the QR code on the sign or via the following link:
