Project Statement Project Summary

PROJECT STATEMENT Agricultural activities, the critical part of human civilization, generally occur in distant farmlands from major residential area.

However, agriculture can be integrated in daily civic activities through rational landscape planning, leading to the reduction of waste output, the improvement of ecological and social-economic sustainability as well as civic welfare.

PROJECT SUMMARY Civic agriculture is suitable for the future development of diamond creek based on the analysis of local culture, economy, environment, history, land use suitability and the preferences of surrounding residents. The vision of this project is to provide an environmentally and economically sustainable, liveable and self-sufficient community with the integration of local food production and daily civic activities. For achieving this vision, this design follows the sequence of site analysis, concept plan, master plan and detailed design.

In this project, the first major stage is site analysis, which is conducted from two main factors including land use suitability and crop suitability. In the land use suitability, several predominant components have been analysed, including the aspects of existing land use and geographic condition such as the locations of roads, slopes, water areas, existing vegetation and ecological reserves. Based on these analysis, suitable areas for residential and commercial development, open space, community service and major roads have been identifie . In terms of crop suitability, the suitable crops are determined from seven criteria including solar radiation, soil type, slopes, existing land use, fl oding, bushfire and aspect. The concept plan is generated based on these analysis.

For further design, the concept plan has been developed from transportation, open space, density and service. Each of these components is designed with the consideration of surrounding context and specific site situation to achieve the theme of civic agriculture. By integrating the design of these components, a detailed master plan was generated with food network, garbage collection, waste and water recycle.

There are three scales, large, medium and small, in the detail design showing the key features of this project. The large scale includes orchard. The orchard is designed through the analysis of site geography, crop suitability, local history, food consumption and production of this design. The medium mainly include communities and blocks. In low density blocks, there is a community shared growing space in the centre of the block, connecting the food production, farmlands and the community.

In addition, five farmers’ markets are planned as important food storage, trading and gathering places. The small scale includes detailed streets and houses. In terms of detailed streets, three types of streets are identified based on requirement of agricultural needs, transport routes and the convenience of travelling and commuting. There are six housing types to satisfy the different requirements of future residents. Most of houses have green roofs and vertical gardens to maximize food production and increase social connection.

History of Diamond Creek Project Process Future Development Time Line Metropolitan Opportunities

In this project, civic agriculture not only emphasis on local food production, but also focus the connection of residents through agricultural and civic activities. From this design, the site is possible to be developed as self-sufficient and self-supported communities in the future.

1.Ecological living area - Aspect & Vegetation Ecological principles include: saving energies, keeping the connections between the vegetation and the wildlife. As the north aspect slope can save warming energy, it is one of the key elements. The second element related to the ecological principle is the vegetation. Keeping the vegetation, especially the medium dense area, can keep the ecological infrastructure.

2.Civic Agriculture - Heritage There are some aboriginal heritage and cultural conservation area. In this mapping, making sure that we would not use any protected area is very important.

3.Safety - Bushfi e & Flood Bushfi e area and flooding a eas need to be avoided as those elements can lead to serious safety issues. Moreover, 50 meters buffer of the bushfi e area can make sure the safety in residential area.

4.Lower Residential Area - Soil Our topic is reclaiming agriculture in Diamond Creek. This area was a populate orchard area, and there are several people here worked in orchard in last ten years. In the residential area, people can plant trees in their yard. We assuming that lower density area can have more land for planting; therefore the soil quality in this area is more important than in low-density area. Suitable soil has been added in the ranking overlay map (ASRIS 2016).

5.Low Residential Area - Aspect North slope aspect can provide better sunlight; even the building is as high as 10 meters. Although the building height here would be lower than 10 meters, it is necessary to think about the special circumstances. In the general density area, the distance between buildings can be shouter than the lower density area. The land in the North Slope aspect can be more suitable for buildings with higher density.

In this site the general density area is similar as low density residential area in other area. Therefore the lower density area may not have the sunlight issue while the low density area may have the issue.

This is a basic aspect on the buildings. If they are located on the north slope, the sunlight is enough for each of them. As for the view, this type is suitable on the northwest of the site.

GENERAL DENSITY PARCEL

This is a is for avoiding sunlight issue. In the south area, this type of houses can have a better view.
