Neighbourhood Retrofit: The Western Creek Catchment. Prof. Marci Mannison-Webster
Quilty Pleasures, Auchenflower, Brisbane
The Queensland Spinners, Weavers and Fiber Artists [QSWFA] is housed in an existing church and hall within the Western Creek Catchment. Quilty Pleasures intent was to strengthen the QSFWA and its surrounding built environment to forge a community orientated destination [COD]. This was achieved through the introduction of an alpaca colony to the WCC which grazes on the newly formed green corridors- roaming to the basins for replenishment and returning through the catchment to the QSFWA hall where they are sheared, their fibers used by the QSFWA to be created into products which are in turn sold back into the community from stores located along a pedestrian fringe which encompasses the QSFWA hall
