After review of the Canberra City and Molonglo River establishment, existing natural habitat were strongly impacted by the change.
Remaking lost connections
Transport infrastructure flies over the river in various locations, however no connection for wildlife crossing was built based on the expansion of the waterway. When Lake Burley Griffin was constructed, some Ngunawal cultural sites and rock paintings were inundated forever. These truths have made our site emerge, Commonwealth Avenue.
Two ribbons are proposed in this design, one is a wildlife corridor and the other one is a linear park. Both twinning around the existing road bridge and the tram tracks, together it creates a divided but safe passage for wildlife and people to travel over the river.
The ribbon of wildlife consists of wetland, rockery bushland, woodland and open meadow that provide food, shelter, water access for different species to nest and migrant. It creates a sanctuary above the waterway to enclose circles with the habitats around the banks. The forest will assist to leverage transport and greenhouse gas emission before the Zero emission target sets by ACT Climate Change Strategy by 2045.
