Quick poll: A sign for Crafers (June)

Your contribution matters

There are four sign options we are seeking your feedback on. Take a look, have a think and then share your views by 10 June.  All feedback will be considered and the final sign design will be uploaded on the engagement site. 

Location

The Crafers sign has been designed to increase the Crafers Township and Park profile and visibility from the roundabout. The Crafers sign is proposed to be located in front of the pocket park, on the curve heading to Waverly Ridge Road.

Size and materials

The sign is proposed to be around 6.2 metres long by 1.8 metres high. The sign is proposed to be laser cut in mild steel letters in a rusted finish with optional coloured poles. It is proposed the sign will be fixed into an engineered pad footing and attached to a timber post/ engineered steel frame. 

Font inspiration

Font was inspired by the Crafers Institute Hall

Established date

It’s widely accepted that both the Kaurna and Peramangk Nations occupied this part of the hills. From a Colonial History perspective Crafers was started with the Hotel run by David Crafers, which then the township grew from.  David Crafers arrived in the area in April 1838 and by Dec 1838 was running the Stringybark Hotel.  Source:  “Under Mt Lofty” – Robert Martin p 24-30. Therefore the establishment date is referenced as est. c. 1838.

Funding

The park and the new sign are funded by a Federal Government Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program Grant which is due to run out on 30 June. This means we have only a short time to understand what you think before the order for the sign has to be placed.
