Development History

• Import and Expoet Coal • Powerplant Operation

Balmain Fill/Reworked Soil

Contaminated Soil Hawkesbury WBPS

Environment A place where contains a lot of contaminated soil Concrete Base

Contaminated Soil without any Microbes

Lack of Vegetation Cover ①

②

③ Requires more vegetation especially along circulation, streets,entrances,public plaza and many more.

Public Space surrounds residential area are crowded while this Site has a large spare space without any function

Main Users:

A Centralized Space

• Workers ftom construction site • Residents (Balmain mainly) • Students (Landsacpe/Interior Architecture)

• Place not for people - hard to access • Uncomfortable - within walking distance Human Density 100%

0%

Accessibility with New site development

Activity are restricted from WBPS

Excpet the environmental issue, why this space has been blocked?

Microclimate enhancement Soil/Air purification Functional Uses Keep the View

Opportunity To offer easier access from different direction so that all the generations could enjoy the new space.

Constraint The emptiness and the poor surrounding infrastructure, which will easily make visitors feel uncomfortable. (safety)

Constraint The circulation of surrounding and the site itself are all barriers for people to access currently

Opportunity The space itself offers people a feeling of refuge with its shape of topography and white bay power station as background.

Major constraints & opportunities First Impression of The Site

Opportunity Wide cityview right in front of the WBPS. Try to keep the view for residents and park.

Constraint To purify the contaminated soil will require a certain time, and the plants selection will be limited at early stage.

Opportunity The story of toxic land condition could be used as educational function for future design.

Can we modify this industrial landscape, to reveal its JOY, to all its future IN-habitats?

Strategic positioning Environment : Preservation • Purify the contaminated environment.(air, underground) • Education while playing (from the site topography itself)

Phase 1

Ecosystem : New Habitat • Built new habitat for local pollinators • Pollinator-friendly play journey

Phase 2

Human : New Living / Activity Space • Place for activity • lifestyle for all generation • Access to nature

Phytoremediation and Testing Plants

Concrete Base

Contaminated Soil without any Microbes

2021 Existing Site Condition Specific Plants are used to absorb the Contaminants

Phytoremediation requires a long term practice

2025/30 Regeneration & Purification

Testing of different type of plants

Main Moves

Planting, Replanting, Collecting

Testing for Succession Planting

Vetiveria zizanioides

Syzygium smithii

Poa labillardieri

Photinia robusta

Banksia spinulosa

Brassica juncea Lupinus albus

Helianthus annuus

Banksia ericifolia

Start and Overay and Testing: • Short Term (pioneer) System • Long Term System TIME

Acacia balieyana

baeckea virgata dwarf

Trifolium pratense

Intermediate Stages

Daucus carota

Success of Climax Community

Looking for Succession Planting

2028 Metro Station Test Operation

After 2028 Metro Station Opened, basic road constrction will finished before 2035

Still Large Amount of pollutant haven't been purified between the 10 years

2035/40 Infrastruction construction Take out the polluted plants and replace them

While pollinators would help the environment regeration to speed up.

Main Moves

Planting, Replanting, Collecting

Pollinators: How? What do they need?

Why do we need to lift up the topo on environment side?

Lift up the level of part of land then put clean soil in Clean soil for better pollinator friendly environment

2045/50 Topography Construction

Continuing to absorb the contaminants

Main Moves

Backfill and construction of topography

Contaminants

Native Plants: Glycine clandestina

Raise up topography with refilled soil

Lift up from all-around

Contaminated Soil

Main Moves

Backfill and construction of topography

Reference: Native plants of the Inner West: https://www.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/live/environment-and-sustainability/at-home/gardens-and-wildlife/nature-for-backyards-guide/native-plants-of-the-inner-west

In 20 Yrs have more of a chance of having a developed planting composition on the site

What changes overtime?

Specific plants continuing to purify the soil

Meeting Plaza Construction Basic functions could provide Horizontal: Vertical:

Rised topography with clean soil for more native plants

Plants used for contaminated soil

Vetiveria zizanioides Poa labillardieri Brassica juncea

Phase 2

Ecosystem : New Habitat • Built new habitat for local pollinators • Pollinator-friendly play journey

2030/35 Reseved Habitat for Pollinators To speed up habitat's recovery, as metro traffic begins in 2028, barely no target species at present.

2045/50 Reseved Habitat for Pollinators

Main Moves

WIth rised up topography and new native spicies, start to built a pollinator friendly garden with their foods and refuges.

2050/55 Reseved Habitat for Pollinators

A stable plant ecosystem is created with different flowering plants throughout the whole day and all season.

What Changes Over Time?

A More Resilient Habitat Ozothamnus diosmifolius

Teddy Bear Bee Acacia longifolia

Red Wattle Bird

Eucalyptus haemastoma

Local Butterflies

(Main Blue Triangle Butterfly)

Banksia spinulosa

Banksia ericifolia

Buddleja species

Bauera rubioides Melaleuca quinquenervia

Instead of phase out, its now ‘phase down’1
