In 2008–2009, HeineJones designed pedestrian wayfinding signage for Frankston’s redeveloped waterfront precinct.
By using designs similar to those found on nautical flags, yachts and bathing boxes, HeineJones contemporary wayfinding signage blends seamlessly with the foreshore environment.
Mounted on stainless steel posts, our signage provides links to and from public transport, recreational facilities and the central activity district. Combining directional, regulatory, identification and interpretive components, the signs use maps, text, symbols and pictograms to provide clear wayfinding, access, amenity and regulatory information.
The striking colour code provides the finishing touch, using blue for waterfront, green for parks and gardens, orange for bicycle routes and red for the central activity district. Robust and economical, resistant to vandalism, the HeineJones solution will stand the test of time in this urban and coastal environment.
