Strategically positioned along a major thoroughfare in the Southwest, the Vasse Village By Bunbury Farmers Market playground is set to become a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. Known as a key stop for holiday-goers seeking fresh produce and delightful treats, “Vasse Village” by the renowned, Bunbury Farmers Market now boasts a vibrant, fruit-and-vegetable-themed play space that perfectly complements its identity and enhances its charm.
In collaboration with Emerge Associates, Hargreaves Design Group, and LD Total, Van Ryt Industries contributed to the design and creation of a family-friendly public space that emphasises safety, with consideration to accessibility and circulation. The design incorporates a bold and cohesive colour palette, enhancing the market’s visual appeal while aligning with its branding.
Highlighting standout Van Ryt feature products such as our “Loaded Fruit Truck” and “General Store Shop Front,” the playground design reflects the market’s focus on fresh produce and creating a playful connection to its purpose.
Despite challenges such as discrepancies between service plans and on-site conditions, tight timeframes, restricted access due to concurrent construction activities, and spatial constraints caused by existing infrastructure like shade poles, the team successfully adapted to deliver the project with an excellent outcome by making quick thinking decisions and adjustments informed by their strong knowledge of the Australian Standards requirements.
Overall, Van Ryt Industries demonstrated its ability to overcome logistical and design challenges, creating a unique and engaging public space that enhances the Farmers Market experience and establishes a vibrant community hub.
