The ten interpretive signs located at the former station sites along the Coast to Vines Trail are being updated and replaced.

Consultation is in progress with stakeholders and local history groups to update the historical information, source additional images and develop interpretive details as appropriate. New signage is expected to be installed in 2023.

Consultation closed on 7 March 2022.

Background

The Coast to Vines Trail, spanning from Willunga through to Hallett Cove, is a popular trail with many walkers, runners and cyclists.

Visual artist and student David Hume approached City of Onkaparinga proposing a collaboration towards a project which repurposes derelict signs into visual art pieces.

Funded by the Gavin Walkley Community Engagement Grant, David is proposing to replace several derelict signs located along the Coast to Vines Rail Trail. This signage currently displays information about the Willunga Rail Line and surrounding flora and fauna. Rather than removing the current signs, plans aim to replace the information with artwork designed by David Hume. The final artwork will take into consideration the surround environment and community feedback.

During stage 1 of the project 4 signs have been selected to be upgraded, with plans to upgrade all signs at a later date.
