of the masterplan is designed to add utility to the
educational and environmental activities of the Centre and its staff
and at the same time open the “hives of activity” to both the local Nudgee Beach
residents and the wider community by creating welcoming and active
spaces for all ages and levels of engagement.
this project proposes a design masterplan which will integrate the
disconnected and under-utilised spaces of the Nudgee Beach Environmental Education
Centre by creating interconnected “hives of activity” both within and
beyond the political boundaries of the NBEEC site.
HIVES OF ACTIVITY
Given the 20 year strategy for the implementation of the
design elements of the masterplan, the impacts of climate change -
especially changing water movements and levels and increasing temperatures- have
been key considerations to ensure the long-term environmental sustainability of the site. In addition, the long-term social and economic sustainability of the
site can be achieved as the design elements increase its usability, functionality and
safety. Consequently, this masterplan encourages greater accessibility to,
and awareness of the Centre.COMMUNITY
