[RAIL YARD URBAN PARK] TRANSFORMATION FROM INDUSTRIAL PRECIENT TO AN ECOLOGICAL AND ENGAGING URBAN PARK

The project site is located in North Eveleigh, extending from Paint shop to Redfern Station platform. North Eveleigh is identified as a State Significant Site in the Central to Eveleigh Corridor, meaning that it has a unique character, which is the historic Rail Yard.

This project will enhance the human experience, not only of the industrial heritage, but also of today’s urban ecology. It will provide a suitable natural environment for the wildlife habitat. It will transform the site form the past industrial rail yard to an engaging ecological public urban park. Landform changes will create a transition area with great visual quality which will balance the urban qualities with the natural.

The adaptation of the heritage buildings into working studios and exhibition spaces will retain industrial values. The combination of different materials and native planting will provide various landscape typologies to establish human and wildlife habitats, including rock escarpment, wetland, grassland, urban woodland and urban forest.

[LIVERPOOL RIVERFRONT] TRANSFORMATION FROM INDUSTRIAL PRECIENT TO A RECREATIONAL AND WATERPROOF LAND

The project scope is to provide a comprehensive vision for the riverfront lands, extending from Liverpool hospital in the northeast, to Moore bank Reserve in the south, and reconnect the Liverpool Town Centre to the west and the future development sites (including Moore bank and the Pirelli site) to the east.

• To reconnect the City Centre to the riverfront, including improved physical and visual connections, new or relocated transport connections and new or relocating existing public facilities.

• To address and design for improved river health.

[Sydney Fish Market] The requirements of the brief centre upon the provision of a community garden and park in the area between the boat club and the Glebe Island Bridge. in order to create a multifunctional public space that will cater to the needs of different user groups, encourage community involvement and respond to the expected influx in population.

The foreshore is to be activated and connectivity ameliorated between the site, the fish markets, and the surrounding bays precinct, with consideration given to the implications of potential changes in climate.
