Would love to see art in situ that responds to the history of the area, both indigenous and our immigration history.
Do not destroy the current access to the river swans and ducks who spend every spring and summer in the park charming both locals and visitors.
Native plantings will not only increase the park’s biodiversity but also be welcoming to the public and tourists alike, with the opportunity to learn about the pre-settlement history of the area.
Adequate lighting, especially at night, will be vital in this area - from this image I would be uncomfortable here at night (I am a 33yo female).
Good lighting at night along the pathway for safety.
The green area must be as large as possible. Native shrubs & plants should be planted to attract & feed native birds & insects.
Please consider how this part would link through up to Southern Cross Station, as it would be a wonderful way to end a workday walking through greenery rather than dodging traffic.
I think the Banana Alley Vaults section looks great and will really improve safety in a location which is a bit shady after dark.
Widening Sandridge Bridge is a great idea considering how busy it can be.
Expanding this area from Birrarung Marr as an indigenous education area would be beneficial for Melbournians and visitors.
