- 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.

During the site study and analysis process, various aspects were carefully examined. One crucial step involved creating an axonometric 3D diagram of the site to better understand the spatial relationships and interdependencies among diferent features. To develop this diagram, software programs such as SketchUp, Rhino, Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign were utilized.
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.
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.

As the creek expands, open space acquisition is done to a widen the riparia corridor. The low density houses are relocated to the area with low risk of being nooded, predominantly the higher grounds.
The low risk precinct is transformed into a hig density area with the inclution of vertical circulation giving space to the blue and green.

Tweed Community Strategic Plan
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.
The site in Tweed Heads holds a signiocant position as a focal point, beneoting from its close proximity to the Gold Coast Airport. It is conveniently connected to hospitals, residential areas, and the southern part of Tweed Heads through Wharf Street. Surrounded by the Tweed River, Jack Evans Harbour, and the Gold Coast beach, the Tweed Mall site enjoys a picturesque location with abundant water sources. The Tweed River, in particular, plays a prominent role as a natural asset in the region. With its central location, accessibility via Wharf Street, and the presence of surrounding water sources, the site in Tweed Heads serves as a notable hub for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
Master plan was developed to have a common meeting point. From the frequent circulation path mapped, commonly used spaces are given function with the needs of the user. Ground noor of the mall opened up to the plaza with restaurent seating provided in the plaza. Design also included water features from the water collected from the design elements during rain. Safe play area is provided for kids using the space with shaded seating for the parents to supervise.
