PROJECT: Tweed Valley Hospital
DEVELOPER: Lendlease
Scope: Softscape and Hardscape elements
Works included civil bulk earthworks. Turf, gardens, plants. Blockwalls, gabion walls, artifical turf, 5000 m2 of concrete pavements, 3000 m2 of concrete pavers, furniture, steel structures and Irrigation.
The development of the South Sea Islander Reflection Park was designed in close consultation with the community; and is dedicated to recognising the history of the South Sea Islander people, and their connection to the hospital site.
“This park has truly been designed by the community; from the concept of the nautilus shell shape, the inscription in the paving and the map of the South Sea Islands in the central plaque, as well as the selection of plant species.
The park space features two drystone walls, which have been constructed using stones from walls within the hospital development area that were disassembled, with the stones archived and stored on the site until the park design was complete.
