Thank you to Firefighters

Wayfinding signage

Visitors to the City will be able to navigate more easily through the City Centre to the Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre with the help of 18 tourism wayfinding signs.

The signs have been installed in and around the Armadale City Centre to help people find their way from one place to another.

Research shows that wayfinding signage enhances the experience of visitors to City spaces. People are able to more easily orientate themselves in space, determine a route to their destination, and are reassured they are on the right path or confirm they have arrived.

The Perth Hills Armadale Visitor Centre is open from 9am to 4pm on weekdays and 9am to 2pm on weekends.

For more tourism information call 9394 5410, visit www.perthhillsarmadale.com.au or pop into the Centre at 40 Jull Street, Armadale.
