OBJECTIVE
DRC wanted to demonstrate to the Devonport community where the programme had allocated its funding and the programme’s successes.

SOLUTION
CODE created a two venue, one day exhibition, which featured over 240 projects and involved the opening of over 30 venues in the district to the public. The exhibitions were housed in the renovated Grade II listed Devonport Guildhall (Future exhibition) and Brickfields Sports Centre. The Sports Centre was filled with an exhibition shell scheme and featured 240 project interpretation panels and included a free juice bar to underline the campaign theme ‘Devonport in great shape.’

Also as part of the event activity, 100,000 invites were distributed to the PL postal districts and a celebrity was engaged to conclude the event and entertain the young people of Devonport.

RESULT
Over 4,000 people came to the event during the day; many undertook free tours to various local attractions and participated in the closing event where Stacy Solomon (I’m a Celebrity get me out of here winner) entertained young people.
