S2 Ep 12 - Kate Hulett The Culture Creator
4/21/202650 min
We all want our cities and our neighbourhoods to be better, but what can we do about it?
Tim and Kev head to Fremantle in Western Australia to meet Kate Hulett, a community-minded individual who isn’t afraid to step up and have a crack at making change.
She’s passionate about Fremantle and her state and, with great positivity, advocates for better housing, more thoughtful and sustainable development, more public space, and a city that works for the people who live in it.
She’s a very good human.

Oh, yeah. Hello, Kev. I'm, I'm Tim Ross. It's great to be here. Another episode, another adventure. And they are adventures. Sometimes I think we forget to tell everyone that although it's on the tin, as they say, but we take you with us on design adventures.

Yeah, yeah. I think particularly today because this is actually a, an experience and a, a whole day of, of interviewing and meeting people, which I came to almost cold.

And then you know, you've got this super slick schedule organized, and we went to Fremantle- Yeah ... which I've never been to before. So the, the... for me, the entire day was a set of experiences which I found utterly beguiling, to the extent that I thought, "Oh, hang on, if I could live in Australia, maybe I'd come and live here and all these people would be my friends."
