Ngunyul The Big Arc
The Big Arc – Ngunyul is a powerful gesture of indigenous landscape which both disrupts the Colonial agrarian landscape of Fernhill and symbolically restores the primacy of Country and the cultural landscape experience of First Peoples.
City of Newcastle (CN) unveiled its concept design for the larger, reimagined and amenities upgrade at the much-loved
Taking the overall form of a Lyrebird, Ngunyul or feather, the Big Arc is a 1000 metre long arc of indigenous garden planting extending from the hilltop of Fernhill House to the shores of the Northern Dam. At the interface between land and water, a Meeting Place for cultural activities will be located within the Mulgu Black Swan Garden – with both aquatic and terrestrial planting.

The ‘wave’ one element that creates many forms that can be interpreted into the public realm. Linear movement corridors lend themselves to the forms of sets of waves as seen from above and the the arcing form of wave breaking provides mechanism for creating spaces within parks and other open spaces.

At the same time, addressing design issues pointed the various site analysis and its design process that integrated the PRDM. The main open spaces shall provide shaded areas for resting and gathering, planting band gravel beds, park furniture and hardscape shade elements. In summary, the concept design for the various typologies are as follows: Gardens -For north gardens, a series of switch back walks was created to transport pedestrians down to the canal from the street via an accessible route. Lush planting, overlooks and paving will help define the character. For south gardens- public open space was also created for active play. also directly connects pedestrians from canal level and bridge to mid levels by stairs and ramps. Piazza -For north piazza, shaded walks from adjacent street were developed to open up to large flexible lawn space. Spacious paved areas connects the Meera development to the park for continiuos pedestrain flow. shaded play area promotes more fun and games for kids. -For south piazza, pedestrian movement through lush gardens contrasted by small open plazas. Iconic features such the geometric palm grates and paving gives the area feature spatial identity and playful energy. Midlevels- Angular geometry within the space creates a movement through terraces, shaded walks and public art. A large cafe at canal level acts as the anchor and entry into the corridor. Community Parks- an urban corridor is created with both lawn and hardscape for community events and gatherings. A large central lawn to the parks enables pedestrians to utilize flexible space for sports, events and leisure. Pocket parks- opportunities for plays and impromptu gathering are created through playful design of shade, spaces, footpaths and sculptural seating. movement. Sikkas -For sikkas with provisions for EVA, textures, paving patterns and colors are skillfully combined for an enjoyable walk in the narrow flexible space. Trees and park amenities are added for those sikkas without provisions for EVAs. 3 7 4 Concept Design Figure 26: Linear Parks and Sikkas Concept Design Key Plan LEGEND: North Gardens South Gardens North Piazza South Piazza Midlevels Community Parks Pocket Parks Sikkas 1-6 Concept Development Seating areas/ Gathering spaces Shaded kids play area Feature paving 10 C5.1.2 Public Realm Plan Landscape Masterplan 10 13 14 Office Cultural/Art Hub VT into plaza Supermarket Central Plaza Hotel Drop-Off Plaza Drop-Off Taxi waiting area 10.
