Jury comment

An iconic gateway destination into the heart of South Perth, Mindeerup Piazza is a modern revitalization of the riverfront. The playful sculptures weave local narratives into the foreshore, linking to the nearby Perth Zoo while enticing visitors into a whimsical Instagram moment in the era of social media. The meerkat sculptures are an absolute delight. The integration into Mends Street with feature lighting ensures activation of the piazza by night and day – a boost for local businesses.
