NewQuay, Docklands
5.11.1999| The vision of the award-winning NewQuay masterplan was to create a ‘24 Hour City’ consisting of a vibrant, cosmopolitan urban precinct, providing connections between the waterfront, the surrounding Docklands and Melbourne.
The Victorian Harbour water frontage was the focus both physically and visually for the masterplan.The design maximises access and views to Victoria Harbour, the Yarra River, the CBD, and beyond. The waterfront becomes a visual marker and a focal point for the precinct’s activity. This is achieved through highly interactive social spaces which were provided to encourage participation and human activity. These include the marina, a promenade, public squares, cafes, and restaurants.The 5.9ha eastern half of the site incorporates 1300 apartments in five residential towers and a commercial space of 6700sqm consisting of restaurants, bars and retail outlets along the promenade. |
