Then I looked at the photos. And I am like standard security/safety meshing seen at multiple stations/car parks around the country.

Victor Vieaux. Did not design this. He used to be an architect but is now most widely known as an architectural photographer. Nor was there any linking or attempt by the nom to supporting evidence. Just a phrase that said supporting information can be found in government docs with no links nothing.

Damn fine effort… I mean huge effort. Makes you wonder how many people seek just to get anything in the game. I can imagine if this waypoint gets accepted they going on their sub-reddit saying ""see - easy as…

The design team for this worked for Victoria Big Build. The yellow colouring is from community feedback who wanted bold bright colours. The open screens are a standard design concept. I can go on. But is just the safety mesh…

But amazing effort right!!
