01 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Objective Arden will be a new residential and commercial hub in the inner Melbourne city to accommodate the thriving population growth and development.

This structure plan will bring Arden into a new page not only maintaining the Melbournians lifestyle and the liveable character but also preparing for future challenges such as resilience and climate change.

Acknowledgement We acknowledge the traditional aboriginal owner of the land - the Wurundjeri people who have contained the area for thousands of year - by respecting the elders, families, and descendants of the Wurundjeri people.

Chun Wai’s interest in building design has gathered with the lens of cherishing heritage, the site characters, moreover, the notion of resilience and sustainability in architecture.

Laurensia’s preference in urban design has generated the idea of placemaking, the preservation of local aboriginal culture, and the sense of space of connecting the urban space with the people who use the area.

Lingrui’s knowledge in the construction field is mostly about material research including water sensitive, green and recycled waste- materials, as well as structural application.

Yuk Chun’s passion for Urban Planning has bought a comprehensive analysis of both the precinct and policies following the concepts of building the resilient and sustainable city.

By designing a landscape, Yunxin prefers to respect the local history and character and rebuild to the human-nature relationship by emphasizing the water sensitivity and introducing nativ e vegetations.

02 THE SITE

HISTORY & CHARACTERS

The area covered has a great cultural significance to the Aborigines, especially the Moonee Ponds Creek. The creek has always been an important travel route between the mountains to the north and Port Phillip Bay. It also acted as a water source with abundant plant and wildlife resources for Aboriginal communities.

14

Arden Structure Plan 2018

As European settlers arrived, the area developed into a heavy industrial area, where most productions occur. As a result, the water in the creek becomes heavily polluted. Some of the current buildings still retain the facades and layout of these industrial buildings.

SUMMARY The key features in the site include: Land use

Current land use is dominated by industrial zones and transport zones, with general residential around the site.

Flooding Area

The overlay in the precinct helps to define the vulnerable area to flooding which is a 100-year period flood.

Public Transport

The main mode of public transport in the area is buses and a tram line connecting it to Melbourne CBD. A train line with two stations also separates the Moonee Ponds Creek with the site.

Heritage

The creek is generally under the Aboriginal heritage, and most of the buildings in the mixed-use areas including the Oval are also significant heritage buildings.

Active Transport

The area is generally well-connected with cycling tracks and pedestrian paths. However, the atmosphere for walkability and cyclability have room to improve.

Barriers

Tree Canopy

Currently, there are few trees near the train lines and the creek, with more trees located on the mixeduse areas.

The Citylink highway and the below train line separate the site with the Moonee Ponds Creek, and Arden Street has a high number of heavy vehicle traffic. All these create a barrier for connectivity in the site, especially for pedestrians.

Areas with inactive industrial zones will convert into general residential zones which provides more housing. Indoor car-parking will replace the on-street parking which not only releases space for cycling but also reduces the impact on residents when flooding. The mixed-use zones and commercial zones around Arden Station will make the area more lively.

DESIGN HIGHLIGHT 01 THE CREEK

EXISITNG

RESPONDING TO THEMES:

WATERFRONT DESIGN The design for the waterfront focuses on resilience on flooding, which features the water sensitivity. It also brings people to experience different water levels and creates different views of the creek. Additionally, the linkage between the creek and the aboriginal district would respect the Aboriginal environmental and cultural values of water and land. Natural design is also required for the creek as much of the soil cover are clay of high plasticity in which any proposed structures would create swell-shrink problems (Scott, 1976).

ANCESTORS Robert was key witnesses at the 1881 Parliamentary Coranderrk Inquiry along with other residents of Coranderrk (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018).

Robert Wandin (1856 - 1907)

William is the last broadly recognized Ngurungaeta (leader) of the Wurundjeri people (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018). He spent the last forty years of his life leading the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve community where he became an influential Aboriginal spokesman (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018).

Wiliam Barak (1824 - 1903)

The son of Billibellary, Simon Wonga became Ngurungaeta (leader) of the Woi wurrung clans at the age of 22 (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018).

Annie a.k.a Borate (1834 - 1870)

Annie negotiated a ‘sister exchange’ (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018). This was a marked departure for our people as it was usual practice to marry within the Kulin confederacy (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018). The formation of new alliances signaled the extreme threat of European settlement posed to our collective survival (“Wurundjeri Tribe Council”, 2018).

SUMMARY & FINAL WORDS

05 SUMMARY & FINAL WORDS

SUMMARY THEME 1 Ensure thriving healthy and enjoyable environment Objective: 1.2 Reduce litter loads stormwater nutrients and/ or sediment loads to the Bay

The overall design plan intends to increase the number of public and green spaces in the site, to ensure everyone in the community has easy access to these spaces. Moreover, the landscape design of the creek aims to create a healthy and pleasant environment by creating natural water filtration by using rocks and native plants. This would reduce litter and sediments loads to the Bay and also provides more movement in the creek, creating natural sounds in the area.

76

Arden Structure Plan 2018

THEME 2 Creating cities that connect, inspire and empower for action Objective: 2.1 Improve the community’s appreciation and understanding of environmental and cultural values of water and land

The site, especially the Moonee Ponds Creek, is an area with high significance of Aboriginal culture. Land and water are two important elements within the indigenous community and thus it is crucial to acknowledge this in our design. Our design proposal includes having street names of famous indigenous figures and an Aboriginal Cultural Centre, where workshops would be held, to be built near the Arden Station. In addition, the waterfront will also have a design that emphasises on natural landscape. This waterfront will also have an indigenous name, to respect the Aborigines that have used the creek in the past. A green bridge that uses eco-friendly materials will create greater connection between the site and the creek.

THEME 3 Fostering resilience and intergenerational equity in cities

THEME 4 Principles of innovative and interdisciplinary city design

Objective: 3.2 Reduce, reuse and recycle resources and waste products

Objectives: 4.1 Clearly demonstrate the application of interdisciplinary design principles and outcomes 4.2 Demonstrate an innovative and creative design that is informed by leading research and practice

The area covered includes Moonee Ponds Creek, making the area prone to flooding, hence, resilience is an important aspect that needs to be addressed in the design. The area aims to be as sustainable as possible by encouraging buildings to have green facades, reserve facades and using green and recycled materials.

There would also be more areas to hold stormwater that has a dual function during dry and rainy seasons, such as the buffer zone on the edges of the creek.

Rain gardens are also installed on certain areas to help absorb and store rainwater in the area and thus reduces the chances of flooding.

This design proposal is made by a group of creatives of different disciplines. This includes, urban planning, urban design, architecture, construction and landscape architecture. Each discipline contributes to each of the thinking and design process of planning, research on building materials, designs ranging from small to large scaled plans and also the relation between functionality and aesthetic. Researches for the design comes from online government informations to textbooks.

77

05 SUMMARY & FINAL WORDS

FINAL WORDS For the current and future residents: Arden will transform into a distinctive, sustainable and historically vital precinct. This Arden Structure Plan proposed three key featured designs included the waterfront, public open spaces, and building designs. In bringing the knowledge together from different disciplines - urban planning, urban design, construction, architecture, and landscape architecture - this proposal is ready to the future population influx and turning Arden to become an appealing city hub.
