Shipwreck Coast Masterplan Stage One
Victoria, Australia
Parks Victoria
Project 2018 – Current
Stage One of the Shipwreck Coast Masterplan encompasses three significant projects to revitalise a 28 kilometre stretch of Victoria’s world-famous Great Ocean Road.
The design approach recognises the differing characteristics and demands of each site and adopts a range of conceptual techniques – either creating a bold counterpoint, treading lightly upon the landscape or subsumed within the natural environment.
The Twelve Apostles is distinctive and dramatic, perched on top of the cliffs, to fully experience the scale and drama of the magnificent landscape.
Minimising its visual and physical impact upon both the landscape and the town, the Port Campbell Creek Pedestrian Bridge sits lightly above water and sand. The bridge opened to the public in June 2020.
The proposal for the Loch Ard Blowhole Lookout is discreetly nestled among the coastal vegetation on the very edge of the blowhole, hidden from the approaching paths, to provide a surprising and thrilling experience. Completion 2025.
In association with Arup and McGregor Coxall.
