Interpretive Trails around Site

Community Facilities on Site

SCALE: 1:1000

SCALE: 1:1000

There are existing interpretive trails near site, but a weak sense of wayfinding when it comes to the site itself.

There are various community facilities on site which includes disability parking, public aged facilities and a public toilet. These facilities seem to be targeting certain groups of users only.

Significance of Heritage on Site

Building Height Analysis on Site

SCALE: 1:1000

Princess May Park is a site of historical and heritage significance.

SCALE: 1:1000

There is a mixture of buildings with different storey heights on site, which affects the visual porosity and how users feel on site.

Lighting Study

The pedestrian area’s illuminates different category of pathways. With good lighting, user such as pedestrian/ cyclists also will feel safer as there is a lower risk of crime.

Most of the existing lighting is provided by Western Power by means of steel poles where power is underground and streetlights on timber poles where power is overhead.

DIAGRAM IS NOT TO SCALE

Greens on Site (Micro)

Proclamation Tree

Greens off Site (Macro)

The existing plant palette and site location in a macro scope, show that there is potential for the landscape designs to do something greater for the users (other than providing shade and aesthetic qualities).

Demographic Study

This graph shows that the percentage of Fremantle’s employed persons who choose to take public transport (train, bicycle, walking) is more than estern Australia’s average.

There has been an increase in the frequency and number of activities that are happening on site. This shows an effort to bring people from the various communities together.

SWOT Analysis

Strength

Weakness

Opportunities

Threats

Site accessibility

Parking restrictions and time limits.

Desire lines inspire new movement patterns

Upcoming hotel development?

New group of users are coming in.

Site is partially shaded and prevailing winds can enter

Site is generally well lit, but there are few/ no activities happening at night.

More community facilities can be designed on site, to support different users with various needs.

Visitors may no longer find a reason to come to site if there is always no events happening.

There is an acceptable amount of noise on site.

There are just a few support facilities for the various groups of users in Fremantle.

Different building heights creates varying visual porosity and gives a new dynamics to the site.

There is beauty and educational value in the past (heritage and history).

Site is a pass-by space and the functions/ users on site are not interacting with each other/ public.

Planting palette can be improved → Increase green coverage on site → being in a prime location amongst other green parks.

Ideas Proposed for the Site Vision: “To give what you can and take what you need”.

There is no definite label as who is the giver and receiver.

Aims: To transform Princess May Park into an interactive pit-stop with functions of a home.

It ties in with a concept of farm-to-table which serves the users and encourages sharing in the community.
