Lytton Street Draft Landscape Masterplan

4.0 LANDSCAPE MASTERPLAN

4.0 PARK MASTERPLAN

PARK PRINCIPLES 4 key guiding principles were developed for the project.

TELLING THE STORY OF COUNTRY

CREATE CONNECTIONS.

•

Consider how the park design can restore country, as well as speak to Darug peoples’ social, cultural and spiritual understanding of this creek corridor.

•

Create places for this highly diverse community to connect. Provide places for people of all ages to enjoy the park.

•

Consider how the design can be shaped by this deeper understanding of place.

•

Create new paths and bridges through the park.

•

Consider opportunities to foster meaningful first nations engagement through programs, events or employment opportunities – e.g artist in residence programs.

•

Explore how the civic hub/ library and existing community building can facilitate new opportunities to enjoy the park. e.g outdoor classes, outdoor library

•

The design could explore opportunities to tell the story of country and explore methods to integrate ways to understand country and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

•

Provide capacity for more low scale neighbourhood cultural events and ensure this is managed to maintain amenity for neighbouring residents.

•

Explore ways to link park users with existing facilities such as the Community Gardens e.g Food trails.

PARK PRINCIPLES

CREATE PARK ‘LIVING ROOMS’

RENEW THE CREEK

•

Provide more park rooms where larger groups can gather for picnicking and celebrations.

•

Explore opportunities to improve water quality and creek health.

•

Provide a diverse range of seating, tables and shade structures to allow for a range of possible ways to gather.

•

•

Provide more paths and bridges to provide places to meander and wander through the park.

Continue to enhance ecological patches of EEC communities and provide ways for park users to undertand these remnants.

•

More lighting to allow for better nighttime use.

•

Explore ways to improve habitat in the park. eg plantings for native birds.

•

Maximise shading and cooling through new shade trees.

4.0 PARK MASTERPLAN

PARK DESIGN THEMES The landscape masterplan was developed to respond to the site analysis and consultation feedback. Underpinning this masterplan are two design themes.

Theme one is the idea of paths of discovery. This recognises that the long, narrow park structure can provide opportunities for a variety of paths that can capture diverse sights and experiences. Theme 2 is the idea of park living rooms, a series of smaller park spaces that provide space for rest, respite, and play.

These concepts are further described below.

PAT H S O F D I S C OV E R Y

•

The design creates multiple new paths that are designed as paths of discovery.

•

The paths move through varying textures and conditions, under jacarandas, over gardens and wetlands, through she oak groves and nature play areas, and across the creek.

•

The paths vary in width and amplify changes in conditions. Raised walkways denote water underneath.

Stepping stones create informal paths and nature trails through gardens.

•

The paths incorporate space for comfortable seating and places for people to stop and rest.

PREPARED BY

WITH

THE ‘LIVING’ ROOMS

•

Positioned throughout the park the living rooms create smaller destinations. These complement the larger park destinations; the Village Green, Casuarina Play and Flow Playground.

•

These park rooms are positioned to create different views and windows to nature.

•

These park rooms act as gathering places providing comfortable seating, tables and shade structures.

•

These include playful elements such as interactive artworks, logs and natural elements that illuminate themes of place, ecology and country.

PARK DESIGN THEMES CONNECTING TO COUNTRY

TREES OF SIGNIFICANCE Connecting with Country consultant, Bangawarra have identified that a number of Eucalyptus and Corymbia species that are culturally important for local peoples through symbolism and stories. These layers of ancestral stories and associated cultural practices will be revealed at later stages of the project through consultation with local indigenous groups and leaders.

These significant species have been embeded within the proposed planting palette where possible. These include Yellow Box, Stringy Bark, Iron Bark and Spotted Gum species. Other non endemic species that do not naturally occur within the Cooks River/ Castlereagh Ironbark Forest, and Cumberland Swamp Oak Floodplain Forest communities may be interpreted through colour or texture within park materials and furniture, or through public art.

E. Melliodora - Yellow Box

E. obliqua - Stringy Bark

E. crebra - Iron bark

Corymbia maculata - Spotted Gum int

An interpretation strategy developed in future stages of the project could include interpretive signage to explain stories related to these species.

PRINCIPLES CONNECTING TO COUNTRY

BABYSITTER TREE Bangawarra have also identified the importance of the she oaks (Casuarina Glauca) within indigenous culture.

The Casuarina is known as the babysitter tree across many of the Sydney Nations. She is known as dahlwah to local Dharawal Peoples. The unique environment she creates forms an important ecological and cultural space for Local Aboriginal Peoples of Sydney. Culturally, she holds so many rich layers of story.

The casuarina grows in clusters, tall and straight with distinct needle-like leaves that fall to form a soft allelopathic carpet around the trees. Snakes and other reptiles find this surface inhospitable and the lack of undergrowth too exposed, so it is a safe place of comfort and refuge. Children of the Sydney Basin are taught that if they get lost in the bush they should go to Dahlwah, because they are safe there, and the lack of understorey means they will be easily spotted by their family when they are searching. While the children wait they are comfortable on the soft leaves and safe from reptiles.

Casuarina glauca - Swamp Sheoak, Dahl’wah

The casuarina grove also creates a shared cultural space - a place to make string together and share stories - hence the term ‘yarning’. This is important layer for cross cultural exchange and all coming together on Country.

Casuarina trees are prevalent within Lytton Street and Irwin Place Parks, particularly along the creek corridor edges and around the existing play space. This species will be further supplemented with new plantings located around gathering places and places for children such as the Flow Playground and Casuarina Playground in response to their importance and symbolism.

Over 1000 linear metres of new paths are proposed for walking, jogging and cycling throughout the park. These paths unlock previously inactive areas of the park and provide opportunities for discovery and exercise. This path network increases activity, improving neighbourhood access and safety.

A shared path is located through the park, providing a slow speed cycle connection through the site. This is located on the eastern side of Lytton Street Park then shifts to the western side of Irwin Place Park at Fullagar Road. Signage and line marking will be used to identify the shared path. All paths will allow compliant access for all abilities use.

A series of new and expanded destinations are proposed throughout the park. These include places to exercise, play, picnic and gather. These are located adjacent to the expanded path network, and are located along the entire length of the park.

A key feature of the master plan is the addition of two centrally located play spaces with their own distinct identity. Active play is provided to the west of the canal catering for older children and teens. A more intimate nature play space on the eastern side of the canal provides exploratory play opportunities for younger children. Other areas include informal park areas with bbqs and picnic shelters water treatment gardens, and woodland regeneration gardens.

A series of wetlands and raingardens are positioned within low points of the site.

These water treatment zones collect stormwater via diverted incoming stormwater pipes from surrounding streets. Pollutants are filtered through wetland planting areas before being released back into Finlayson Creek.

The wetlands provide environmental benefit for the broader Finlayson Creek catchment and offer opportunities for community education. They also provide habitat for birds and wildlife. A lookout with seating is positioned adjacent to each of the water treatment zones for the enjoyment of park users.
