Hume City Council, in partnership with Stocklands and DEECD, were looking to provide the Newbury community with a centre addressing the service needs of the area in a holistic, inclusive and seamless manner and that respectfully acknowledged the diversity of the community. Botanical Traditions was engaged from concept through to construction support stages, in order to design an interesting and diverse landscape, playspace and planting plan to integrate the various components of the centre – a public meeting room, staffroom and children’s area.
