Mount Street Precinct

GLAS landscape architect’s concept designs have taken the masterplan from vision to achievable reality highlighting the importance of open space investment even in COVID times. The designs integrate a green systems approach to creating a small open space network using the wider streets as a part of the green systems ecosystem, considering the whole neighbourhood as part of the network. 

The designs aim to connect a transitioning demographic by using the open spaces to encourage the population out into the public realm, providing a diverse range of spaces and amenities and by connecting these places to foster a sense of community. The designs aim to be fun, providing colour and materiality inspired by the local neighbourhood and history. The concept designs have provided accessible imagery that have allowed the project to progress to the implementation stage. 

The open space network has been developed around four concepts that emphasise the environment, history and people of the place.
