Hybrid Question Research Question
2412 P3 How can active infrastructure complement the post-industrial waterfront character of The Bays, in order to increase physical activity and social engagement for youth?
2413 P1 What if Glebe Point Island found place and identity as a headland park within the Sydney Harbour, whilst also celebrating the Industrial heritage throughout innovative active recreation interventions?
2413 P2 What if active infrastructure is sequentially introduced at The Bays following disuse of industrial function and increased resident population upon Glebe Point Island? How can a linear headland park encourage a trend in residents across the wider Sydney population to move more and interact with the Sydney Harbour waterfront?
2413 Project 3 - REgenerate
How can the imperfections and qualities of Glebe Point Islands edge, activate movement within humans and intertidal communities?

The infrastructure of the Metro Station is integral to the bigger picture of the active transport issue. “The new metro line will take about 110,000 car journeys off local roads every day by 2056” - Sydney Metro,2020.
L At present the site holds huge potential to mend a missing link that will connect Bicycle networks to Pyrmont, Rozelle, Balmain and Sydney CBD. Along with the Metro this infrastructure extends the active transport options to Greater Sydney 4 Louis Giffin - z5160144

Concept
A terraced landscape
Surveillance
Levels of activity nodes accommodate a broad array of site users. Human and non-human
Accessibility
Accessible connections between linear terraces and clear visual access to the waterfront achieves a sense of Surveillance.
Site Activation
All levels spanning off the promenade are heavily activated. Both by a diverse group of intertidal creatures and human users.
Maintenance
Maintained active spaces with distinct site character offer proud civic Ownership.

Activated Waterfront
Active waterfront provides multiple health benefits to human users. Clean rocky shore providing habitat for Intertidal species. Intertidal species act as ‘pollutant engineers’. Positively impacting the health of the Harbour 16 Louis Giffin - z5160144
