Meet Perci the Platypus
In a city where rivers flow and green spaces thrive, our fun-loving mascot Perci the Platypus has emerged as the face of Streets People Love Hobart. But who is Perci, and why did we choose a platypus to represent our vision?
The platypus is an icon of Tasmania’s waterways, including Hobart’s very own rivulet. Perci represents not only Hobart’s natural beauty but also its potential for safe, vibrant, and connected spaces. Just like a platypus navigates land and water with ease, our vision is to help everyone—whether they walk, ride, roll, or drive—navigate our streets safely and enjoyably.
Why Perci Matters:
- Connection to Nature: Perci reminds us that Hobart’s streets should honour and reflect the natural environment that surrounds us.
- A Friendly Symbol: With Perci at the helm, we hope to make reimagining streets fun and approachable for people of all ages.
- Guiding Change: Perci encourages the community to roll together towards safer, more inclusive spaces for everyone.
Next time you see Perci, whether it’s in our materials, events, or activities, think of the streets we can create together. Streets that are full of life, where nature and people thrive side by side.
Join Perci on this exciting journey to transform Hobart’s streets into spaces we all love.
