Victoria Harbour - City Quarter
Landscape Design
ASPECT|OCULUS led the master planning, design, co-ordination, and implementation of this Docklands project – the Victoria Harbour City Quarter. Countering the perception of Docklands as windswept and unfriendly with large footprint built form; we delivered a fine grain public realm network of streets, laneways, play spaces, courtyards, temporary activation, integrated public art, a plaza, park and promenades. Our place led curatorial program has connected Docklands to the city and people with each other. Over seven years we have ensured the implementation of the masterplan’s sustainability principles, from materiality and process, to green infrastructure, public transport and public realm.
Key areas include:
1.Buluk Park: a significant public open space with outdoor reading rooms and events spaces servicing the City of Melbourne’s Library at the Dock and Maternal Health Centre
2.High amenity streets and urban reforestation; public transport infrastructure and bike lanes
3.Integrated public art, two exemplary playspaces, pocket parks and the relocation of the community garden
4.Temporary transformation of an undeveloped site into an outdoor fitness hub, with sports courts running circuits, outdoor exercise facilities and a dog park
5.‘Water Plaza’ a waterfront urban lounge and maritime transport hub
