The Lewis Park masterplan has been awarded the AILA VIC Award for Parks and Open Space. In collaboration with Knox City Council, Wave Consulting and Capire consulting the team established a vision to create a cultural connection to the Knox community, while ensuring the landscape makes a positive contribution to ecology, waterway health and social wellbeing. In understanding the role of the park at a local and regional scale, the masterplan proposes a number of initiatives to provide a sense of place for residents, workers and visitors, whilst playing a role as a major municipality open space and important environmental and stormwater corridor. The naturalisation of Blind Creek and the creation of new wetlands within the retarding basin will filter water and create a biodiversity hot spot within the urban environment, fostering a network of Blue Infrastructure. The creation of a water holding pond to harvest and re-use excess water in the park will also enable Lewis Park to become a net exporter of recycled water. The delivery of the masterplan was seen as a co-generative design process, where by consultation of community and stakeholders played a key role in informing, shaping and resolving the masterplan.
