PLAN E was engaged to create a modern streetscape and integrated parklands that draws inspiration from and enables access to the adjacent world-class rowing lake.
The design incorporates access to the rowing lake via small timber and steel bridges, viewing platforms to watch rowing and other water-based events, open areas for play and informal games and arbors with barbecue facilities for passive recreation and gathering.
The strategic use of transplant trees, striking artworks by a local public artist that respond to the function of the site and rowing lake, and controlled lighting to key features further enhance and add depth to the precinct. Landscaped detention basins and a small informal ornamental lake have been incorporated into the design for the onsite treatment of stormwater.
We acknowledge and respect Traditional Owners across Australia as the original custodians of our land and waters, their unique ability to care for country and deep spiritual connection to it. We honour Elders past, present and emerging whose knowledge and wisdom has and will ensure the continuation of cultures and traditional practices.
