ROCKDALE WETLAND CORRIDOR

SECOND YEAR CAPSTONE PROJECT

- TRANSFORMING <SQUISHY LAND= -

The Rockdale Wetland Corridor project is a restoration initiative, located in Sydney as part of a 5km wetland stretch. The chosen site belongs to the San Souci catchment and lies along Bado-Berong Creek, encompassing Bona Park.The site9s unique characteristics, such as tall trees, open sky, and a rich biodiversity hotspot, ofer immense potential for innovative design. However, the project faces signiocant challenges such as sea level rise causing salination of fresh water, resulting in biodiversity loss, and water overnow from the creek afecting nearby low-lying residential areas. Addressing poor water quality and soil contamination are also key objectives.

To overcome these challenges, the project aims to build a resilient system that can adapt to sea level rise and water overnow, while simultaneously restoring and enhancing the wetland9s ecological functions. Phytotechnologies will play a crucial role in this efort, utilizing plants and vegetation to address water and soil quality issues and promote overall ecosystem health. Community engagement and participation will be fostered to create a sense of ownership and stewardship among local residents.The Rockdale Wetland Corridor project envisions longterm results within a timeframe of 20 to 30 years, recognizing the time required for the wetland to fully recover and showcase the desired ecological improvements.

] 01 PARAMERTRIC ALALYSIS

SUN ANALYSISTOPOGRAPHY ANALYSISFLOOD ANALYSIS

From the direct sun and UHI analysis it was observed that the site receives ample sunlight over a longer period but is poorly shaded making the site extremely hot and water in the creek dries up really quickly but noods during the slight event of rain. The strategies include to make the site more thermally comfortable. Planting more trees making it a riparian corridor can help shade the wetland and give thermal comfort.

The site is relatively nat but has low terrain which poses a threat to other activities in site. Water table is being hight land is inunded during tides or slight rain. North west of the site being on high terrain might also result in nash nooding during an event of rain.

The site has been identioed as having problems such as nash nooding, sea level rise and storm water surge. These problems stem from the low ground on which the site is located. Stratergies that are adopted are space acquisition by nearby residents to reclaim their land, alteration of the terrain moderately, and expansion of the creek to act as a spill-out space.

Grasshopper

PATTERNS AND RELATIONSHIP THROUGH SITE SECTIONS

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the site and its context, diferent scale sections were drawn to analyze various layers and their relationships. These sections provided insights into larger patterns, including birds and burra migration, and helped identify connections with neighboring areas such as the Blue Mountains, Kamay (Botany Bay), and the San Souci residential area. Additionally, sections were used to study the biodiversity, community dynamics, soil composition, the creek, and the site itself. By examining these sections, valuable information was obtained regarding the spatial and ecological relationships between these elements.

Tweed Community Strategic Plan

TWEED HEADS MALL

FIRST YEAR PUBLIC REALM PROJECT

The project9s objective was to redesign the Tweed Mall precinct in Tweed Heads, which held a signiocant position as a focal point beneoting from its proximity to the Gold Coast Airport, hospitals, residential areas, and the southern part of Tweed Heads connected via Wharf Street. The design concept took into consideration the proposed Tweed light rail, with a primary focus on creating a plaza that would serve as a meeting place for local mall users.The plaza was positioned in front of the mall, and the street in front underwent a redesign to promote walkability and incorporate cycle paths and light rail infrastructure. Additionally, water sustainability was integrated into the design, with provisions to capture, recycle, and reuse water resources.

Project involved various stages like precedent study, site visit, site study and analysis, concept design, master plan development and presentation to the council. Within the group project, my specioc contributions included conducting a site analysis, designing the street and plaza, and producing visual renders to showcase the envisioned changes.

LIVE PROJECT - VILLAWOOD, NSW

-604 Speciocation & Details Planting Schedule & Imagery

The landscape design for the industrial project at 9 Birmingham Avenue, featuring three separate warehouses, was developed in coordination with the Canterbury Bankstown Council to enhance the visual and functional quality of the carpark and surrounding areas. The design incorporates a balance of planted zones and practical infrastructure, with some areas landscaped and maintained by VPM, while others are designed by the landscape team but managed by VMP. Careful coordination was undertaken with multiple services, including electrical easements, lighting, sewer, stormwater pipes, and pits, to ensure compliance, accessibility, and integration within the existing site constraints.
