Riseley Parklet - Mandjar wer Nyin
As part of our work implementing the Riseley Placemaking Action Plan, we installed a parklet on Kearns Crescent outside of C15 Espresso.
A parklet is a small, temporary and moveable public space located in existing carbays and is designed to be a welcoming space for all the community to sit, stay, enjoy and connect with others. It features the colours and design of the Riseley Centre branding as well as native plantings.
We received 57 name suggestions and the submissions were narrowed down to three final selections which the community voted on, and the chosen name was “Mandjar wer Nyin” which means to meet and sit In Whadjuk language. It is a combination of two Whadjuk language names submitted by community members which was approved by elder Aunty Marie Taylor.
