History

In the 1950s, the Bunbury Council introduced an initiative designed as street signage at the each corner intersection in the town centre. It also extended south to the Tree Street area and up to the Highway Hotel.

The work was carried out by Council employees and consisted of stylised street names of asphalt letters cast into concrete slabs which form part of the footpath. This technique may have been a response by Council engineering staff to address a need for more permanent street signage as the Bunbury townsite area expanded.
