(L) Lulu Xu, ‘Urban Oasis’. The overall design takes ecology as the basic principle and devises five specific areas, the new fish markets, historical hall, the children's playground, wetland island and the sea bay. The project includes a traditional yarning circle which is located on a piece of land that projects into Blackwattle Bay and reflects the historical foreshore line. This projection over the water reflects the historical foreshore line and can be used as a gathering place for people to come together to share stories and to speak and listen from the heart.
(R) Nick Groves, ‘Milsons Point Placemaking’. The vision of this project is to revitalise the precinct into an inclusive and better connected public domain through acknowledging local histories – by designing for people, improving active transport networks and promoting biophilia through water sensitive urban design. The redevelopment consists of six key interventions: a waterfront esplanade, amphitheatre, urban forest and sculpture garden, cycling network, swale and an open air museum. Each intervention is underpinned by the above themes, and responds to honouring and respecting oral histories in our city.
