landscaping at access points to the precinct
The group noted that it was important not to forget the alleyways, streets and pathways through the industrial portions of the site, making them engaging by using planting, art installations and trails would ensure that there is a continuity of cultural presence. In particular, how could the pathway to other buildings via the Traverser Lane be interesting and engaging (not just straight lines) and how it could foster a sense of connection. It was suggested that movement though the site could mirror the first people’s use of the land as a place to pass through, gathering materials and food as they moved. This could be achieved via activating the edges by utilising, planter boxes, medicinal planting and healing circles, development of a series of micro healthy (food) gardens and art and sculpture installations. It was seen to be important to engage with the river and this be represented in some way – even if it couldn’t be directly seen.
Requirements • Purposeful and meaningful landscape • Entry points to precinct to celebrate culture
“The landscape across the site and the ‘spaces’ between the buildings can be both purposeful and meaningful, for the staff, students and the Aboriginal and wider community, this can be achieved by embedding an array of cultural experiences – a healing garden, edible Aboriginal plants, micro gardens (smaller versions of the cultural garden), an interpretation trail – passing on of Aboriginal knowledges, recognising Aboriginal presence on the site through the ages, providing information on people from the Aboriginal community.” Knowledge of Country
