Transport and Industry
White Bay Power Station Built

The Formation of the Industrial Belt
Development History
• Import and Expoet Coal • Powerplant Operation
Pyrmont
Gymea Developend on Hawkesbury Sandstone
Balmain Fill/Reworked Soil
Contaminated Soil Hawkesbury WBPS
Environment A place where contains a lot of contaminated soil Concrete Base
Contaminated Soil without any Microbes
Lack of Vegetation Cover ①
②
③ Requires more vegetation especially along circulation, streets,entrances,public plaza and many more.
Public Space surrounds residential area are crowded while this Site has a large spare space without any function
Main Users:
A Centralized Space
• Workers ftom construction site • Residents (Balmain mainly) • Students (Landsacpe/Interior Architecture)
• Place not for people - hard to access • Uncomfortable - within walking distance Human Density 100%
0%
Accessibility with New site development
Activity are restricted from WBPS
Excpet the environmental issue, why this space has been blocked?

Microclimate enhancement Soil/Air purification Functional Uses Keep the View
Opportunity To offer easier access from different direction so that all the generations could enjoy the new space.
Constraint The emptiness and the poor surrounding infrastructure, which will easily make visitors feel uncomfortable. (safety)
Constraint The circulation of surrounding and the site itself are all barriers for people to access currently
Opportunity The space itself offers people a feeling of refuge with its shape of topography and white bay power station as background.
Major constraints & opportunities First Impression of The Site
Opportunity Wide cityview right in front of the WBPS. Try to keep the view for residents and park.
Constraint To purify the contaminated soil will require a certain time, and the plants selection will be limited at early stage.
Opportunity The story of toxic land condition could be used as educational function for future design.

Can we modify this industrial landscape, to reveal its JOY, to all its future IN-habitats?
Strategic positioning Environment : Preservation • Purify the contaminated environment.(air, underground) • Education while playing (from the site topography itself)
Phase 1
Ecosystem : New Habitat • Built new habitat for local pollinators • Pollinator-friendly play journey
Phase 2
Human : New Living / Activity Space • Place for activity • lifestyle for all generation • Access to nature

Phytoremediation and Testing Plants
Concrete Base
Contaminated Soil without any Microbes
2021 Existing Site Condition Specific Plants are used to absorb the Contaminants
Phytoremediation requires a long term practice
2025/30
Testing of different type of plants
Main Moves
Planting, Replanting, Collecting
Regeneration & Purification
Testing for Succession Planting
Vetiveria zizanioides
Syzygium smithii
Poa labillardieri
Photinia robusta
Banksia spinulosa
Brassica juncea Lupinus albus
Helianthus annuus
Banksia ericifolia
Start and Overay and Testing: • Short Term (pioneer) System • Long Term System TIME
Acacia balieyana
baeckea virgata dwarf
Trifolium pratense
Intermediate Stages
Daucus carota
Success of Climax Community
Looking for Succession Planting
2028 Metro Station Test Operation
After 2028 Metro Station Opened, basic road constrction will finished before 2035
Still Large Amount of pollutant haven't been purified between the 10 years
2035/40 Take out the polluted plants and replace them
While pollinators would help the environment regeration to speed up.
Main Moves
Planting, Replanting, Collecting
Pollinators: How? What do they need?
Infrastruction construction
Why do we need to lift up the topo on environment side?
Lift up the level of part of land then put clean soil in Clean soil for better pollinator friendly environment
2045/50
Continuing to absorb the contaminants
Main Moves
Backfill and construction of topography
Contaminants
Topography Construction
Native Plants: Glycine clandestina
Raise up topography with refilled soil
Lift up from all-around
Contaminated Soil
Main Moves
Backfill and construction of topography
Reference: Native plants of the Inner West: https://www.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/live/environment-and-sustainability/at-home/gardens-and-wildlife/nature-for-backyards-guide/native-plants-of-the-inner-west
In 20 Yrs have more of a chance of having a developed planting composition on the site
What changes overtime?
Specific plants continuing to purify the soil
Meeting Plaza Construction Basic functions could provide Horizontal: Vertical:
Rised topography with clean soil for more native plants
Plants used for contaminated soil
Vetiveria zizanioides Poa labillardieri Brassica juncea
baeckea virgata dwarf Lupinus albus
Helianthus annuus Trifolium pratense
Daucus carota

Phase 2
Ecosystem : New Habitat • Built new habitat for local pollinators • Pollinator-friendly play journey
2030/35
Reseved Habitat for Pollinators
To speed up habitat's recovery, as metro traffic begins in 2028, barely no target species at present.
2045/50 Reseved Habitat for Pollinators
Main Moves
WIth rised up topography and new native spicies, start to built a pollinator friendly garden with their foods and refuges.
2050/55 Reseved Habitat for Pollinators
A stable plant ecosystem is created with different flowering plants throughout the whole day and all season.
What Changes Over Time?
A More Resilient Habitat Ozothamnus diosmifolius
Teddy Bear Bee Acacia longifolia
Red Wattle Bird
Eucalyptus haemastoma
Local Butterflies
(Main Blue Triangle Butterfly)
Banksia spinulosa
Banksia ericifolia
Buddleja species
Bauera rubioides Melaleuca quinquenervia
