Port Campbell Township Improvements, Port Campbell for Corangamite Shire Council , Victoria

The Port Campbell Township Improvements Project aims to enhance the functionality and appeal of the town’s core for residents and visitors. Key components of the initiative include streetscape upgrades, enhanced visitor amenities, creation of outdoor spaces, a focus on sustainability, improved traffic flow and accessibility, parking solutions, upgraded street lighting, integrated artwork, and preparation for electric vehicle infrastructure. This comprehensive strategy seeks to revitalize Port Campbell, fostering greater appeal, sustainability, and accessibility for the community and tourists alike.

The Masterplan emphasizes the public realm aspect of the Port Campbell Township Interface Plan, with significant investments in key areas such as Lord Street’s streetscape and the foreshore. These improvements are designed to position Port Campbell as a central hub of the Shipwreck Coast.

Adopting a human-centered design approach, the project prioritises the needs of both the local community and visitors. I have contributed to the detailed design and tender documentation following the Masterplan phase, with the project now in its pre-construction phase.

Mullumbimby Streetscape Upgrades for Byron Shire Council

Set in a lush sub-tropical landscape beneath the Great Dividing Range, Mullumbimby, proudly known as the “Biggest Little Town in Australia,” is undergoing a transformative streetscape revitalization. Funded by Byron Shire Council and guided by the “Our Mullumbimby” Town Master Plan, the project aims to reimagine Stuart Street as a “Green Spine” while enhancing intersecting streets. The town’s grid layout promotes connectivity and walkability, benefiting locals, visitors, and workers alike.

In collaboration with Byron Bay-based Landsite Studio, we developed a concept design that brings the “Green Spine” vision to life—a verdant boulevard linking Heritage Park and the Brunswick River to the Mullumbimby Recreation Grounds and Community Gardens.

Community consultation, led by Landsite and Hansen Partnership, emphasized key design principles:

Prioritizing People: Elevating pedestrian safety and amenity.

Maximizing Vibrancy: Activating streets with dynamic, public-facing activities.

Minimizing Conflict: Ensuring balanced transport modes with a focus on pedestrians and cyclists.

YARRA TRAIL

GIPPS STREET RAMP, ABBOTSFORD

Main Yarra Trail Gipps Street Ramp Functional Design for Parks Victoria

The Gipps Street Ramp project involves the construction of a 150-meter elevated ramp to replace the existing steps at the Gipps Street Abbotsford section of the Main Yarra Trail.

SCHEMATIC

The Main Yarra Trail, one of Melbourne’s most iconic routes, runs along the Birrarung-Yarra River from the city’s northern suburbs to the heart of the city. Currently, the steep steps at Gipps Street pose a significant barrier for cyclists, pram users, and people with accessibility needs. The new elevated ramp will provide easier access, allowing a wider range of users to enjoy the trail, cross the river, and experience nature right on the city’s edge.

DESIGN PACKAGE

FOR TOWN PLANNING APPLICATION

JULY 2021

DRAWING REGISTER

The design preserves existing native trees, and the river embankment will be revegetated with new trees, garden beds, and a lawn area with seating at the Gipps Street connection. The project is scheduled for completion in 2024 and represents the culmination of over 18 years of advocacy by bicycle user groups working to complete this vital ‘missing link’ in the Main Yarra Trail network.

DESIGN RATIONALE

The ramp and stair structures share a common materiality of utilitarian materials - steel & concrete - as a nod to the industrial heritage of the precinct, but do so using forms and finishes which are intended to take on an organic character in acknowledgement of the riverine setting and the bushland backdrop of Studley Park and the Yarra River corridor.

Both ramp and stair structure comprise a lightweight materiality of open steel mesh, used to form walkways, balustrades and screens, thereby allowing for a transparent appearance within the river corridor context, and - importantly - providing opportunity for vegetation to grow over the structures, such that over time they become part of the river landscape.

OBJECTIVE

TO IMPROVE THE CIRCULATION OF PEDESTRIANS, CYCLISTS AND OTHER USERS OF THE MAIN YARRA TRAIL AT THE END OF GIPPS STREET WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PROPOSED RAMP AND REPLACEMENT OF THE EXISTING STEPS.

Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing Hiker Accommodation for Parks Victoria

The Falls to Hotham Alpine Crossing (FHAC) is envisioned as a world-class alpine hiking experience that celebrates the essence of the Australian Alps—the solitude, seasons, breathtaking beauty, and cultural heritage of Victoria’s High Country. Designed by Hansen Partnership in collaboration with K2LD Architects for Parks Victoria, the project combines accommodation and trail infrastructure tailored to this iconic landscape.

Spanning 57 kilometers over four days and three nights, the FHAC connects Falls Creek to Mount Hotham along the Great Dividing Range. Building on the existing 37-kilometer segment of the Australian Alps Walking Track, the extended route immerses hikers in Victoria’s most spectacular landscapes, wildlife, and cultural stories.

The trail infrastructure—including shelters, amenities pods, tent platforms, boardwalks, and trail improvements—is crafted from durable, environmentally sustainable materials, with sensitivity to the natural environment. Designed to accommodate a range of abilities, the trail fosters meaningful engagement with the alpine scenery while minimizing environmental and visual impacts.

Best-practice design, planning, and management underpin the project, ensuring the natural, cultural, and ecological values of the Victorian Alps are protected. This thoughtful approach enhances community appreciation and advocacy for this unique environment.

Since 2021, I have contributed to the project through landscape visual impact assessments, hiker accommodation concept design, and detailed design documentation stages.

Star of the South EES SLVIA

The Star of the South Offshore Wind Farm is Australia’s first proposed offshore wind farm, located off the south coast of central Gippsland. This project aims to revolutionize Victoria’s energy supply by complementing existing power generation and enhancing system reliability.

The initiative is designed to diversify Victoria’s energy capabilities, expand its renewable generation capacity, and provide clean energy to approximately 1.2 million Victorian homes. In addition, it promises to generate local employment and investment. Aligned with both Victorian and Commonwealth government energy and climate policies, the project will contribute to reducing Victoria’s reliance on fossil fuels, helping mitigate climate change.

The project spans both Commonwealth and Victorian jurisdictions and requires planning and environmental approval under both sets of legislation. The Commonwealth Minister for the Environment has classified the project as a controlled action (per notice on 2 June 2020), necessitating an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Additionally, the Victorian Minister for Planning has required an Environment Effects Statement (EES) under the Environment Effects Act 1978 (EE Act) as per notice on 11 May 2020.

Since the project includes components within Commonwealth marine areas, it cannot undergo accredited assessment under the Bilateral Agreement between Victoria and the Commonwealth.

This report assesses the potential seascape, landscape, and visual impacts of the project to inform the preparation of the EIS and EES. The Seascape, Landscape, and Visual Impact Assessment (SLVIA) offers a detailed overview of the existing environment, establishes a baseline for the seascape, landscape, and visual elements, and highlights key aspects of the proposed development. It also evaluates the anticipated changes to these environments, assessing the magnitude of change during the operational stage of the project.

I have been involved in this project since the 2019 field research stage, contributing to baseline assessments, photomontage photography, and the completion of the final Seascape and Landscape Visual Impact Assessment (SLVIA) for the EES. Additionally, I collaborated with the Director of Landscape Architecture to prepare the TRG presentation.
