Project Description

The Maryborough Station Domain Project is a careful commercial landscape design that balances the town's rich history with modern community needs. The overall layout centres around the historic Maryborough Station, incorporating heritage elements with materials, colours and vegetation that complement the station's architectural character.

Central to the design are open spaces that encourage community interaction and social engagement. The performance area serves as a versatile venue for concerts, cultural events, and community celebrations, accommodating large crowds while maintaining an intimate atmosphere. The design strategically places seating areas and open spaces to facilitate both organized activities and spontaneous gatherings, fostering a sense of community.

A key aspect of the project is its waterwise approach, addressing the longstanding drought conditions affecting the region. Indigenous vegetation is used throughout the landscape to enhance visual appeal and ensure sustainability, reducing the need for excessive irrigation. The Maryborough Station Domain Project creates a vibrant, welcoming space for both the local community and tourists, celebrating the town's heritage while embracing sustainable design principles.
