Statement - Climate change is causing sea level rise around the world. Predictably, a sea level rise of more than 0.8 metres by 2070 would result in practically most coastal greenspace of the Moolap, Geelong being permanently underwater. Moreover, the Geelong government planned the abandoned post-industrial area (The Point Henry Precinct) to provide homes to at least 12,000 residents over the next few decades. Therefore, there is no doubt that the requirement for more open green space will come to such a high-density residential and visitors. Overall, the thesis methodology is on the condition of sea level rise to modify the existing shoreline by retreating and protecting the erosion area, and then reclaiming some land as green urban space for future communities, restoring and protecting species habitats, bringing these area benefits and value to the community. In addition, the approach further allows connecting residential areas with the sea, advocates low-carbon environmental education, lets residents and visitors witness the effect and process of sea level rise, and re-discuss the relationship between humans and nature.

In Geelong Moolap, It is accessible from central Geelong via Portarlington Road which is the major arterial road linking Geelong to the Bellarine Peninsula. At the northern end of this area is the tip of the Point Henry peninsula and Corio Bay. The government plans to build a new community in the north. These communities need more green space, and rising sea levels result in less surrounding green space, including reclaimed or existing coastal green space.

SITE TIMELINE In 1888 Victoria, Geelong Cheetham saltworks had replaced the original coastal saltmarsh and mangrove shrubland for production along the bass strait. The salt works were interconnected, with shallow evaporation and crystallization pools separated by the sea wall. The pond and sea wall have physical heritage significance. As the water flows into, it also forms a number of shallow ponds with different salinities, creating wetlands for migratory birds. Nowadays, the former Cheetham Saltworks is part-owned by the Victorian Government, and the Moolap Land Development Corporation closed in 2007.

The ecological process comes along with a time strategy, it uses breakwaters or barriers with road or pier to capture sediment from sea tide and adopt plants to make a reclamation. Most of the reclaimed are would be used back into the reserved habitat for endangered wildlifes and some of public coastal space will be build.

EROSION

According to the ocean currency and dominant beach drifting direction, offshore Breakwater Approximately 300 Meters From Shore can capture sediment from the two former southern areas. And the mangrove forest habitat on the back can gradually accumulate northward, drifting sand and creating more habitats and avoiding erosion. In addition, the viewing deck, lookout and walking track allow people to get close to nature. Because of the low elevation, placing a sea wall behind the habitat could protect against storm tides in 2070.

PREDEDENT STUDY

-The Beach at Expedia Group Seattle, Washington, USA Waterfronts /Post-Industrial / Habitat / 2019 Prior to Expedia’s development of the waterfront, much of the existing site was paved over and used for industrial purposes for decades before previously acting as a tech and research campus. The limited planting that was on-site was mostly non-native and provided little wildlife value. In contrast, planting at The Beach is entirely comprised of native and climate-appropriate species. In addition to studying quantitative plant characteristics such as spread, height, sun requirements, and water use, the team did a series of qualitative studies charting seasonal color, wildlife benefits, and textural relationships between plants. Through the careful selection of native and climate-appropriate plants and development of distinct botanic experiences, the planting provides wildlife habitat and encourages biophilia among users of the site while reducing campus water use and requiring minimal maintenance.

-Te Ara Manawa Auckland, New Zealand Bridges and Piers / Nature Paths / Parks / Waterfronts / 2018 Hobsonville Point’s Play Strategy was devised to create habitat for people and wildlife This coastal landscape is one of the big moves of the masterplan, led by Isthmus. The conceptual framework for Te Ara Manawa was designed in association with New York-based firm Nelson Byrd Woltz (NBW). The design creates, restores and connects natural habitats that offer respite from the built intensity of the residential streets. The coastal park offers discovery through play, and invitations to pause and contemplate. It includes sculptural bridges suspended above bushclad gullies, rest and picnic spots with elevated harbour views, a waterfront promenade, coastal boardwalks through mangroves, and site responsive art and sculpture. The design incorporates historical remnant buildings and structures from the old Air Force base. Some of these buildings have been left in a state of decaying, adding adventure to the process of discovery, while others have been preserved and re-purposed for community use.

-Lakeside Garden Singapore Parks / Playgrounds / Riverbanks / 2019 The freshwater swamp, woodlands and grasslands are the primary ecotones that makes up the garden. The ecotones are then further broken down into key habitat spaces, each with unique characteristics and plant types that are suited for the respective fauna. Over 3000 existing trees are preserved within the site, with 200 trees transplanted. Existing big trees such as banyans and yellow flames are preserved carefully, which provide a connected corridor for wildlife and biodiversity. Bird, butterfly and dragonfly attracting trees and shrubs are specially selected to provide food source and nesting opportunities, ensuring a vibrant habitat with rich biodiversity. Rare species such as hornbills, buffy fish owls and otters are spotted to be regular inhabitant of the garden.

039


PREDEDENT STUDY Standing with Nature: Resilience Opportunities from Current, Sea-level Rise and Typhoon Human beings can build concrete armour at any cost to protect them from the sea, but not for everywhere. Titled ‘Standing with Nature’, the concept challenges those that have often been understood as disastrous natural effects, and proposed a special way to take the advantage of nature to save the dying fringe coastal area of Kaohsiung, which is away from the port-centred prosperous metropolitan area well protected by giant concrete land-fill ports. This project sees the special endemic opportunities from current, sea-level rise and typhoon in restoration of the destructively damaged coastal mangrove habitat. With the voluntary regress caused by the gradual sea-level rise, such succession process leaves space for natural force and low-impact human intervention. By creating a forward biophilic landscape buffer along with death and life both for men and nature, a general coastal resilience is supposed to be promoted together with the permaculture development within and beyond the coast to meet a common prosperity at the currently declining coastal fringe.
