This site on the corner of Victory Road and Clayton Roads will expand Kingston’s Green Wedge -‘Chain of Parks’ initiative, to provide a habitat corridor and urban forest across a range of rehabilitated sites in the area.

A detailed documentation and review phase was undertaken with EPG Environmental Consultants, Golder/WSP capping engineers and Cleanaway to ensure the proposed outcome would not have any adverse effect to the capping infrastructure and that the landscape design proposed would adapt and thrive into the future.

Access to the parkland is via two carparks located on the Southern and Northern edges, with fully accessible DDA grade path network throughout. The project provides local habitat for flora and fauna, increased canopy along the shared path network and a large open grass areas for the community to enjoy that under most circumstances would be a privately owned and be a closed parcel of land for the post-closure and capping period of 30+ years.

This project showcases the opportunity that a landscape intervention can have within the Extractive, Waste and Rehabilitation sector.
