Palmer Street

Community
Concept

 

We saw an opportunity to advocate for a streetscape revitalisation strategy that ties together a number of cultural landmarks in a way that is no currently recognised.

In collaboration with Longmore Landscape Architects and Trafficworks, we are developing a solution to create a ‘cultural bridge’ to recognise and enhance the public realm by reclaiming the street and delivering more green space within the City of Yarra.

Key outcomes:

  • Increased tree planting

  • Integrated seating and Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) treatments

  • Raised paving and street art to slow traffic

  • Maintain local access for residents


We hope this can be realised as a pilot project within the municipality.
