Foreshore Development Plan. Hames Sharley provided Urban Design and Landscape Architecture services |
This large scale waterfront redevelopment in a major regional city involved the development of a structure plan to implement the City’s and community’s vision for the area. The project required extensive stakeholder and community consultation with extensive coordination with projects in adjacent precincts and the CBD. Environmental and operational issues involving the interaction of the function between the needs of the Port, the CBD, the commercial, social and tourism function of the foreshore areas all required designing to reduce potential conflict. We have developed climatically sensitive plans to maximise potential use of the site. Key elements of the plan include: creating a nexus between the foreshore and the CBD; short stay residential development; tourism, commercial and retail functions; and developing a landscape plan for the entire study area.
