  • engaging with local stakeholders and statutory agencies regarding site issues and progress
  • preparing a detailed site layout including planting plan and schedules; materials sheets for hard elements
  • new and alternative lighting
  • paving and new entrance arrangements
  • soft landscaping: tree planting removal, and replacement of existing trees, grassed and species-rich grass seeded areas; earth modelling and provision of small events space within grass area
  • street furniture and branded signage
  • new shared pedestrian/cycle pathway alignment
  • new boundary fencing and rebuilding of low boundary walls

OUTCOME

The culmination of this project has provided visitors and residents with a safe, welcoming place to enjoy, one that will invite people in, with well-considered signage and wayfinding offering equal access for all.
