Site Information Lavender Bay Lavender Bay is suburb residential area consisted of 3 districts, McMahons Point, Lavender Bay, and Milsons Point. The place was named after George Lavender, the boatswain of the prison hulk "Phoenix". The area is adjecent to North Sydney Central Business District (CBD)where is major commercial district on the Lower North Shore of Sydney to the north, and Sydney CBD, the historical and main commercial center of entire Sydney region to the south over Sydney Harbour.

The city is one of the historical area where still remains several heritages that played an important role in area development since 19th centuries. For example, Lavender Bay Railway station was once a temporary terminus of The North Shore Line due to Sydney

Harbour Bridge construction in 1920s. Moreover, Luna Park is an amusement park opened in 1935 and while it repeated its closure and reopening several times, now it is one of two amusement park in the world that are protected by government legislation.

Lavender Bay is one of the luxury residential area with rich heritages and parks, great view capturing entire Sydney area, and high convenience locating near 2 CBDs. Therefore, it has a potential of rising market value in the future.

Site Information

Camellia Camellia is an industrial area sandwiched between the Parramatta CBD and Olympic Park , bordering the Parramatta R iver, approximately 20 km from Sydney CBD. Camellia's development began in 1788 when Governor Arthur Phillip visited the area as a new settlement. Since then, Camellia has flourished with industries such as leather goods and building materials, followed by the Clyde Refinery in 1925, which played an important role in the neighborhood’s fuel supply. However, with the closure of freight routes and refineries, and plans to downsize fuel import facilities, the area is in decline as an industrial area. The challenges in the area also include soil contaminated by industry, poor accessibility due to heavy passing traffic and lack of bridges, and the flood hazard

of the surrounding Parramatta River and its tributary, the Duck River. By resolving these challenges and planning a waterfront that triggers synergies with other CBDs and the Olympic legacy, the development of a broad livable area along the river is expected to be possible.

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

2.1 Concept What Makes Lavender Bay Special?

Lavender Bay, a small waterfront city, however located in the middle between North Sydney CBD and Sydney CBD, is actually a high value residential area with its fine accessibility and rich contents.

However, to enhance the value of Lavender Bay as a residential area more, we need to focus on "what makes Lavender Bay special". Something that is characteristic which no other city has will be a strength for the city.

Here, we found 2 characteristics of Lavender Bay. First, the view

The View Seen from Lavender Bay

seen from Lavender Bay. A photo right above is a exact view seen from Lavender Bay. We could see Sydney CBD, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and Sydney Opera House in a single frame.

This special view could only seen from here. Second, the rich historical heritages of Lavender Bay. As the collage photo right bellow shows, many heritages are still remained in the city, some are still used, some are just reserved.

Therefore, we plan a new area masterplan utilizing these characteristics and create a one and only area that people want to visit and live.

2.2 Vision Enhance the market value of Lavender Bay Here is the vision of our masterplan of Lavender Bay. Our main vision "Enhance the Market Value of Lavender Bay" is coonsisted of 2 policies below.

Maintain Great View As great view is a characteristic feature of the city, we need to maintain and fully utilize. The city vision that we want to achieve is that every people, from residents to vistors could fully enjoy the fantastic view from Lavender Bay. Create Synergy of Heritages As rich historical heritages are also characteristic features of the city, we propose a circular system that connect those heritages by new activities, mobilities, and greeneries. Historical heritages are key factors that cultivate citizens' "identity", which gives citizens reason and pride of living at Lavender Bay.

2.3 Site Analysis 2.3.1 View Entire Sydney in One Frame The diagram shows the main view points at Lavender Bay and views that could be seen from those points. There are 4 view points; Blues Point, McMahons Point, Lavender Bay and Milsons Point. The view seen from the bay is quite remarkable.

On the west side, there is Walsh Bay which is a famous warf, on the center, there is Sydney CBD consisted of high-rise office buildings and towers, and on the east side, there are Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House; 2 most iconic features of Sydney.

2.3.2 Heritages Historical Heritages Surrounding the Bay In this diagram, we show 6 famous historical heritages. Luna Park and Blies Point Road are 2 famous people's gathering places which the former is a theme park while the other is shopping district. Blues Point and Clark Park are parks with great nature and views. Christ Chirch has been playing a role as mental support of residents since 1872. Finally, Lavender Bay Railway Station is closely related to the origins of Sydney Harbor Bridge and current Milsons Point Station over 100 years ago.

2.3.3 Public Transports Lack of Transports near Bay Area This diagram shows the public transport nertworks around the area. Bus, train and also ferry lines are in service, thus the connectivity between Lavender Bay and outer city such as Sydney CBD or North Sydney CBD is quite well. However, as this diagram shows, there is a lack of public transportation inside the city. There is currently no public transports that run through residential areas and connect waterfront to main streets or arterial roads.

LEGEND Bus Train Ferry "re:creation" at Lavender Bay

15

2.3.4 Public Parks Parks with Great View As the diagram shows, almost one third of the land is covered with parks, which most of them are registered as nature reserve.

Each park has great view to Sydney harbour. However, west coast of the bay, where could see Sydney Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House in a row, is mostly covered with private usage such as residents. This also unable visitors to walk along directly from Quibaree Park to Blues Point.

2.3.5 Terrain Residents and parks are located along the hill and streets run through toward it also. This geografical feature in a factor that enable people to enjoy the view, however, it also causes inconveniences. For instance, east coast of the bay is more like a cliff rather than a hill, which is separating the coast from city area.

2.3.6 Future Sea-level Rise Sea-level Rise Analysis of 2100 The diagram shows the flooded area of sea-level rise till 2100.

The analysis based on IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 's 6th assesment report, the highest predicted sea-level rise is 1.06m in Lavender Bay. As the diagram shows, west coast of the bay will partially sink under water in 2100.

Moreover, the coast is mostly sunken rocks which is fragile to waves and winds thus future erosion is also a serious crisis to residents.

2.5 Masterplan Frameworks 2.5.1 Activities Connet Heritages, More valuable Stay Each historical heritage provides unique activity, but connecting them could provide more enjoyable and valuable stay to visitors.

For instance, visitors from Sydney by walking across Sydney Harbour Bridge probably first visit Luna Park to enjoy outdoor sports. After they enjoyed, Lavender Bay railway ruins could be a perfect place to walk and cool down. At the end of the walk, people could relax at parks and gardens by enjoying the fabulous view. They could also walk to Blues Point Road, buy some foods and drinks. Finally they walk to subway station to visit another places.

22

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

2.5.2 Public Transportations Bus network for residents and visitors Lavender Bay area currently has limitted public transports even the area is consisted of hills and cliffs which is not quite walkable. Therefore, we planned a new bus network covers entire Lavender Bay area. The bus route was planned by considering 2 things. First, to increase heritages' visiters, the bus route run through near each heritages. Second, to provide equal accessibility to every residents, we placed bus stop that enable every residents access to nearest bus stop in 1 minute by walk.

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

23

2.5.3 Walkways & Cycling Lane City for Pedestrians and Cyclists To enhance the accessibility of residents and visitors more, we redevelop current roads and bay walks. Roads will be redesigned with pedestrian and cycling lane giving people chance to commute or travel by walk or bycicle. On the other hand, the coast will be re-designed as one long bay walk connecting Milsons Point to Blues Point with also pedestrian and cycling lanes so people could enjoy both tarvel and great view.

24

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

2.5.4 Residential Development Enhance the Market Value of Each Residential Area Based on the characteristics of the area and frameworks focusing on activities, public transports, and walkability, we redevelop 3 residential areas with high market value. Great view, rich parks and bay walks, and high accessibility, these are the drivers that increase life quality of residents. High brand residential areas will be a strong product to outer cities.

2.6 Masterplan of McMahons Point 2.6.1 Vision & Site Analysis Poor Accesibility and Erosion Threat The masterplan is focused on how to creat valuable residents along the bay which achieve our vision and especially adapt to future natural disasters.

This model shows the current residential plan. The problem of this area are mainly two folds. First, the coast are mostly covered with private residents thus even the coast have great view to Sydney

No Access to Bay area ➞Great view is limited only to private residential owners

harbor it is limited only to private residential owners. Second the coast is vulnerable to future sea level rise and erosion. Residents are built really close along the bay which are in danger of flood.

Therefore, to solve these problems and achieve the vision, this is the new residential plan along the bay.

Future Sea-Level Rise & Erosion

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

27

2.6.2 Strategies "Strategic Retreat" This is the strategy of the masterplan; "Strategic Retreat", a solution to adapt to future erosion and to create residents with large capacity. The strategy is based on the NSW govermantal planning rules. According to those rules, the max GFA of the building will be a total lot size times FSR, even the building is straddles several lots. Therefore, the strategy will be operated as

1440㎡

2.6.2 Strategies "View Corridor" The diagram shows the strategy of maaintaining great view from entire residents in McMahons Point; "View Corridor". As the bay is facing to Sydney's 2 iconic features, Sydney Harbor Bridge and Sydney Opera House, this strategy is to open several "corridors" from posterior residences to Sydney area. This prevents posterior residences from market value deterioration of lacking great view.

The area has good view to Sydney Harbour and large parks. Our specific visions of this area is 3 folds below. By achieving these visions, we believe each resident's life quolity will be enhanced, and the area's market value will highly increase.

less noise.

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

35

2.7.2 Strategies Heritages along one boardwalk This strategy is to create a boardwalk connecting the Heritages in Lavender Bay area. Heritages in this area is quite unique respectively. For instance, the Christ Church has been a mental support of residents for almost 200 years, 2 houses, Berowra and Whitely House are both famous for artists actually lived in, and the secret garden is famous for its beauty and great view to Sydney Harbour. However these heritages are located in inaccesible areas thus visitors are few.

Strategy Goal; Improve Accessibility and City's Revenue The strategy enables visitors to reach these heritages easier.

The more people visit here, the large profit the station and surrounding shops could get from visitors; improves city's revenue.

36

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

2.7.2 Strategies Park Extension and View Planning This strategy is to extend the park and ocean visibility. The area has very limited ocean visibility because the steep slopes with buildings on both sides towards the ocean are blocking the view. Therefore, expanding the park by clearing near located buildings could expand the visibility, more over, visitors from upper city could feel close to ocean.

Strategy's Goal; Enhance the residents' quolity of life The strategy could enhance residents' quolity of lives by improving the residential environment and providing places that could use for activities and relaxation.

"re:creation" at Lavender Bay

37

2.7.3 Connection with CBD and Adjasent Bays Improving Accessibility to Heritages The current problem is "The heritages are not recognized as heritage, difficult to access". We will create a path connecting the Heritages between the North Sydney Station and the

2.7.4 Residential Plan Increase both Households and Open Spaces To adapt to increasing needs of residences, we extend the open space by bringing the existing residential buildings over the station and to the edge of the site. Currently, there are approximately 100 households within the area. The total area of the site to be operated is approxiately 50,000 square meters, and using the Max GFA mechanisum, the number of households can be increased by a factor of 5 by rebuilding and adding an additional building on top of the station.

There will be sports area, playground where children and adults could devote their time by moving as much as they want. There will also be turfs, meadows,and groves with promenade, where people could have relaxation time.

2.7.6 North Sydney Station Renewal Plan Open the South Exit Gates of the Station Not only the accessibility inside the city but accesibility from outside the city is much important as well, especially considering how to increase visitors. Currently, North Sydney station is not opened its exit to Lavender Bay side, only to North Sydney CBD. Our plan is to open its exit gate to Lavender Bay side, so more people could easily access to heritages, parks and bay area.

The twin towers are assined for a Hotel and Offices. Harbour view and convinience train access from the Sydney CBD is the one of the best place to work with relax. It is also one of the best place for tourists to stay, with iconic views of Harbour Brige and Opera House, ferry access just a couple minutes from Circuler Quay (its crusing itself is a tourist element), and the amusement facilities in this site.

Impact on the surroundings Ensure view axis The lying cimaninae and the twin towers are designed to ensure the view axis from the streets in the upper area to the harbour.

Amusemet take the advantage of its waterfront location Water activities consists relaxing, exciting, and swiming activity, so it can be tailored to individual needs.

There are only a few above-ground structures here, making it easy to recover aftert a flood situation.

In addition, the virtical passage in the building "Climaninae Port" helps swift evacuation from the coast line.

A further geographical advantage. The cliff blocks out cheers and noise of this area so do not disturb residential area.

Connect historical heritages surrounding the bay As we mentioned in chapter 3.3.2, Lavender Bay area have 6 famous historical heritages. Luna Park and Blies Point Road are 2 famous people's gathering places which the former is a theme park while the other is shopping district. Blues Point and Clark Park are parks with great nature and views. Christ Chirch has been playing a role as mental support of residents since 1872. Finally, Lavender Bay Railway Station is closely related to the origins of Sydney Harbor Bridge and current Milsons Point Station over 100 years ago.

If development is undertaken without consideration of the surrounding area, each urban area may become independent, and its value may not be fully enhanced due to the dispersion of its attractions.

71

3.3.1 Concept - How to form a new Camellia CBD When developing Camellia, the riverside amenities will be properly developed and connected to the two CBDs by several traffic lines, allowing for integrated area management where the three cities complement each other.

Parramatta CBD Major business area in western Sydney. It also has a long history as the second administrative center of the Sydney metropolitan area.It is also a commercial and artistic area with a diverse mix of cultures.

Camellia / Rosehill New Camellia CBD will offer a relaxed lifestyle with riverside activities that are closely connected to daily life and abundant green space. Develop the area as a riverside city that enriches the daily lives of not only residents but also visitors from the outside.

Olympic Park Development zone with sports and live events as core industries.The development plan calls for beautifully landscaped high-rise residential and commercial buildings.
