My scenario:

Still adjusting to this new city. I’m actively looking for cafe or bar work around the Fremantle area as it’s close by and easily accessible. I don’t have many friends yet but I enjoy being active and social, and trying new things. I’m still learning English. As I haven’t found employment yet, I am on a tight budget so when I’m out and about in Fremantle I like to look for fun, affordable or free things to do that involve more than just drinking coffee and dining out as it can be costly. I appreciate art and photography, and I’d like to get to know more about the culture around Fremantle. I’m vegetarian and very environmentally conscious.

OBSERVATIONS

Based on my observations, potential challenges to be addressed are:

Social issues stemming from bored or disadvantaged youth, and/or mental health;
Reduce wastage from cafes/restaurants – particularly plastics;

Litter is visible, glass and plastic used to excess, lack of visible recycling/waste schemes

Liveliness in public spaces – encourage more music/dance, art, sporting/leisure activities in the park;

Blank walls that could be used for public art projects
Encourage music in public spaces
Encourage music in public spaces
Communal art activities fostering connections between strangers

Inaccessibility due to cost, poor signage, public transport;
Perceptions of safety;
Segregation/stigmas surrounding homeless people, Indigenous/CALD people, disability;
