POINT LONSDALE COASTAL LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCE

INTRODUCTION COASTAL LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCE

Point Lonsdale is a coastal landscape that I have visited for as long as I can remember. The Point Lonsdale landscape is a completely unique landscape experience to any other coastal environment that I have encountered before, this is primarily through the continually changing natural landscape that surrounds Point Lonsdale. This surrounding landscape defines the town for me, whenever I think of Point Lonsdale the images I see are of the surrounding natural landscape.

This is because of the disconnection that is occurring between the built and natural environments. How can my skills of a landscape architecture masters student start to integrate the built and natural environments of Point Lonsdale to enhance the perception of Point Lonsdale’s town character?

POINT LONSDALE COASTAL LANDSCAPE EXPERIENCE

TERMINOLOGY & CONTENTS EXPERIENCE POINT_3225

Coastal Town Character – Coastal town character is a perception of a town’s values/attributes derived from members with a close affiliation to the town, in relation to the town’s association with both the built and the surrounding natural environment.

DESIGN RESEARCH QUESTION - PAGE ...

Built Environment – The developed landscape of Point Lonsdale. Includes all infrastructure roads, walking paths, housing, shopping facilities and public facilities.

CHAPTER 2 - POINT LONSDALE TOWN CHARACTER - PAGE...

Natural Environment – The undeveloped landscape that surrounds the developed landscape of the built environment.

Point Lonsdale’s natural environments consist of Bass Strait & Port Phillip Bay Coastal Systems, Point Lonsdale Dune Environment and Swan Bay ecosystem.

Sense of Place – a unique experience that user has with a landscape environment. The experience can be either a visual or physical interaction. Although the landscape in which the user interacts with must be completely unique to any other landscape the user has associated with before.

Placeless – Placeless refers to the qualities of a town (generally linked to aesthetical values) and is the declining perception for either an individual’s or communities values of a place or landscape.

Land locked – The physical location of a town is entirely surrounded by natural landscape. See surrounding natural environment above.

The above definitions directly relate to the entire body of works within Changing Point_3225 and are a result of knowledge gained throughout all texts outlined in the references chapter.

The appeal of living along Victoria’s coastline is becoming increasingly popular with the Bass Strait coastal region experiencing a population growth of 3.7% and the Great Ocean Road Region experiencing a 2.8% population increase between 2010-2011, placing these two regions in the top six growth areas of Victoria. The Great Ocean Road also attracts on average seven million tourists per year, three million more tourists than any other region in Victoria.

Coastal towns throughout the Great Ocean Road region are diversely unique in identity; this is expressed through coastal town character, generated through the perception of a town’s values and attributes in relationship to coastal landscapes. This perception is generated through the experience either an individual or community encounters within the built and natural environments of a coastal town.

Coastal towns along the Great Ocean road are continually changing and developing within the urban environment to accommodate the pressures caused by the increase in population and tourism.

For many coastal towns the development of the urban environment has affected the town’s relationship with the surrounding natural environment, resulting in a physical disconnection between the urban and natural environments and also a weakening of coastal town character.

Point Lonsdale is a small coastal town located at the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, which means that the town’s edge is situated along the Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait coastal systems, a coinciding relationship that sees the physical form of the coastal edge continually changing/redefined. This relationship of having a town located at the intersection between Port Phillip Bay and the Bass Strait Coast is unique to Point Lonsdale when compared with any other coastal town along the Great Ocean road. How can an understanding of Point Lonsdale’s unique coastal landscape be articulated to enhance the connection between the urban and natural environments and therefore generate a greater experience of individuals encountering the Point Lonsdale coastal landscape?

Point Lonsdale is a small coastal town of 2,500 residents with a strong community engagement.

A recent Stockland development has provided space for another 1250 residents. This development has generated a negative perception within the community, as residents are concerned that the increasing development will reduce the level of community engagement in Point Lonsdale.

The coastal town of Lorne in Victoria has previously experienced pressures caused from population and development increase. Lorne was experiencing a growth rate of 4.8% of permanent residents in 2001, although it was Lorne’s tourism development along with population increases that exhausted Lorne’s infrastructure.

Lorne’s foreshore was developed to accommodate the population increases, although this came at a price for the existing community of the township.

The Lorne Bowling Club and tennis courts were relocated and replaced with car parking in an effort to accommodate the increasing population.

This not only weakened Lorne’s perception within the community but also reduced the existing connection the foreshore had with the foreshore.

One of the main challenges facing Point Lonsdale in the future is accommodating the population increase caused by the Stockland development, without weakening the existing strong community engagement and without furthering the disconnection between the natural and urban environments.

How can the population increase be accommodated whilst generating a greater connection between the urban and natural environments of Point Lonsdale’s coastal landscape?

Investigating the connection between Point Lonsdale’s urban and natural environments will be developed through five different approaches in order to generate a design research project that interrogates how connections can be made to enhance the experience of Point Lonsdale’s unique coastal landscape, outlined below.

CHAPTER 1 COASTAL TOWN CHARACTER

COASTAL TOWN CHARACTER PERCEPTION Victoria’s South Western coastline consists of a diverse range of towns when considered in reference to their coastal town character. Coastal town character is a perception of a town’s values/attributes derived from members with a close affiliation to the town, in relation to the town’s association with both the built and the surrounding natural environment.

Therefore town character is a perception of a set of ‘attributes that make one landscape different from another 1 and from its surrounding context1,’ a concept that is directly linked to all coastal towns along the Great Ocean road.

ANGELSEA HIGH COASTAL TOWN CHARACTER

13

Coastal town character can be associated with a town in many different ways and generally there is a high perception of town character for the majority of towns along the Great Ocean Road. For example Angelsea, the perception of the town’s character is positive, as there is a strong connection between both the built and natural environments. For example there is a strong association between the township and the Angelsea River, although neither environment is impaired by the function of the other environment.

STRONG PERCEPTION TOWN CHARACTER - CONNECTION BETWEEN BUILT & NATURAL ENVIORNMENTS

14

COASTAL TOWN 02 - LORNE

LORNE LOW COASTAL TOWN CHARACTER

15

There are instances of towns along the Great Ocean Road that are experiencing either reduced levels of town character or lacking any perception of town character. Lorne is an example of a coastal town with a reduced level of town character and this can be associated with the increased popularity the town has received over the past decade.

Lorne’s township is land locked by the surrounding Lorne State Forest, which provides the town a high level of town character through the relationship between the built and natural environment.

Although as the town is land locked it means through the increased popularity in the town, Lorne’s infrastructure /resources were stretched and required reviewing to address the increasing population. This resulted in many of Lorne’s community facilities being converted to more conventional infrastructure to address the increasing population. For example the foreshore Bowling Club was removed and converted to foreshore car parking. This resulted in a greater disconnection between the foreshore and the township but also had a greater effect on the local community’s perception of the town, suggesting that the ‘towns unique character is being lost and replaced by one that 2 is more urban in nature1’.

POINT LONSDALE POTENTIAL COASTAL TOWN CHARACTER

17

When considering the perception of Point Lonsdale’s coastal town character, there is a high level of possibility for enhancing the town’s character, through Point Lonsdale’s location within the natural environment (outlined in the opening abstract). This is directly linked to the perception of the town character expressed through Angelsea, therefore it is important that when addressing Point Lonsdale’s coastal edge infrastructure any design proposal integrates the connection between both the built and natural environments to enhance the experience of being within this unique environment and therefore enhancing Point Lonsdale’s coastal town character.

Point Lonsdale is unlike Torquay but similar to Lorne as the town is land locked by Lake Victoria and Swan Bay and currently experiencing growth through developments such as Stockland’s The Point housing estate. Therefore it is important when addressing the existing issues in regards to

Long-shore drift is continually redefining the coastal edge of Point Lonsdale. The process of long-shore drift at Point Lonsdale, results in sand continually deposited and removed from the shore edge.

Therefore the useable surface of the coastline is always changing.

THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE The first condition that sees the Point Lonsdale edge condition continually changing/redefined is through the process of long-shore drift. Long-shore drift is the process of sand being continually removed and deposited along the foreshore edge and this occurs through the movement of sand in the oceans water currents. Sand is continually redeposited along the Point Lonsdale Bass Strait coastal edge.

Although when there is a high amount of swell entering the Port Phillip Bay, sand is directed into the bay and deposited along the foreshore edge. Depending on the strength of the swell entering the bay, sand is either deposited on the foreshore or removed, therefore continually re-defining the foreshore edge condition. How can this changing landscape provide users with a greater understanding of the function of the surrounding natural environment?

Point Lonsdale’s location close to the entrance to Bass Strait sees the foreshore continually receive large swell and tidal conditions. Therefore continually redefining the coastal edge condition.

The second condition that sees the Point Lonsdale edge condition continually changing is through tidal movements.

The average low tide for Point Lonsdale is 0.55m and the high tide level is 1.65m, although there is a period when the tidal movement fluctuates, causing a minimum tide of 0.2m and a maximum tide of 2.2m. This tidal fluctuates only occurs every eight years on average, how can the coastal edge provide a more interactive experience when this occurs?

Still photo investigation at Point Lonsdale foreshore precinct, 105 photos taken every 30 seconds. 34 visitors recorded. Visual experience of intersection of coastal landscapes.

The third condition that sees the Point Lonsdale continually changing is through the occurrence of swell entering into Port Phillip Bay and transforming the foreshore edge into a surf beach environment. When there is large enough swell entering Port Phillip Bay, the refractive qualities in water enable the swell to refract around the Point Lonsdale headland and as the swell enters shallow water waves start to form in the foreshore area. In certain instances the swell entering the bay is large enough that the waves are surf able and this completely redefines the function of the foreshore beach. How can this experience be used to interact users along the foreshore edge and provide a unique encounter either visually or physically?

The St. Kilda Promenade renewal by Site Office Landscape Architects is an example of how landscape architectural methods can be adopted to enhance the experience of a landscape environment, through social and cultural attributes. Site Office’s approach to designing the promenade was about combining the diverse range of activities that already occur along the promenade. With segregating or hindering any of the existing activities.

Through expanding the surface and manipulating the surface form they are able to integrate all activities of the promenade.

BUILT FORM RESPONDING TO CONDITIONS OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENT EMF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS - CAP DE CREUS, SPAIN

71

EMF Landscape Architects Club Med Restoration is an example of a design aimed at enhancing the experience of the brutal landscape at Cap de Creus.

This is achieved through apply materials that provide a strong juxtaposition with the existing landscape i.e. core-ten steel but also with the paths implemented having a conscious awareness of the surrounding landscape.

PHOTOS – Previous page & 1: The association between design and landscape – walking path is conscious of landscape. 2: Material selection provides continuity with landscape. 3&4: paving provides continuity with landscape form and core-ten steel provides strong juxtaposition with brutal landscape form.

75

Teresa Moller’s project Punta Pite in Chile, is very similar to the Club Med Restoration by EMF Landscape Architects, in that the coastal walk is aimed at enhancing the experience of the brutal coastal landscape. Although there is a greater association between the design and the landscape as the walking path is made from local stone and integrated into the existing rock form.

PHOTOS – Previous page – Demonstrates the connection the path has with the surrounding landscape both through design and material. 1&2: Demonstrates how the material of the path provides continuity with the surrounding landscape. 3&4: Demonstrates how carefully the walking path is located within the site and there is a strong relationship between the landscape and the path.

CHAPTER 5 - CONNECTING POINT ACCOMODATING POPULATION INCREASE & ACTIVATING THE EDGE TO REDUCE DENSITY AT CENTRE POINT (FORESHORE)

The body of work presented within this ADR has been investigating the connections between the urban and natural environments of the Point Lonsdale coastal landscape. Through focusing the body of work on the Point Lonsdale foreshore I have been able to develop an understanding of how connections can be made to enhance the experience of both natural and built environments.

The central locations of coastal town’s are crucial to the function of these landscapes, especially when considering the perception of a town’s values from the urban environment.

Through reducing the density at Point Lonsdale’s foreshore I have been able to preserve the community engagement and celebrate the towns location within the surrounding natural landscape.

Although by reducing the density I have not yet considered the development within Point Lonsdale’s urban environment.

The next iteration of this design research project will investigate the role of the edge that connects the central location of Point Lonsdale. How can the edge be used to accommodate the pressures from development and increasing population at Point Lonsdale, to preserve the outcomes discovered from the previous body of work? How can the edge be activated to promote residents and visitors to experience the edge when transitioning to the central location of Point Lonsdale?
