1 INTRODUCTION

Premise in association with VEE Design were commissioned by Townsville City Council to investigate sites for and to undertake a concept design for a

water play park within the Riverway Complex. The water play park promotes and caters to family and toddler activities.

2 CONCEPT DESIGN

The team along with officers from Council undertook a review of the Riverway site and identified several potential sites. A multi-criteria analysis was

undertaken – see Landscape Analysis Report Appendix B. The report identified the advantages and disadvantages of the various sites, and from that the

preferred site was recognised as Site 2 with a connection to the current lower level pool.

A concept design has been prepared on the understanding that the splash pool was to be attractive to toddlers and families. Emphasis was placed on

interactive play areas as well as having large areas available for informal seating and viewing of the play activities. Interactive play areas were also seen

as an important part of the design and with an emphasis on colour and water.

The concept design is shown in Appendix 1.

CONTENT

WELCOME TO THE RIVERWAY BILLABONG

After visiting the potential sites available, Vee inds site 02 (refer attached analysis report, appendix 01) to have the greatest potential for the design and construction of a new water park within the Riverway precinct.

We ind this area to have the strongest connection to existing infrastructure. This largely includes the all abilities playground that could seamlessly be integrated into the new design. Binding both the existing playground with the newly proposed water park, will combine and activate the two zones, creating a large multifunctional space.

Furthermore, the connection with the existing lagoon will cohesively join the two water play zones, making the new water park feel larger than if sited else where at Riverway.

Perhaps the greatest asset that site 02 possesses, is the existing mature rain trees (Samanea saman) with their large over aching canopies. Data from the 2004 Strand Water Park Survey Results indicates; that more shade is the biggest request to improved the Strand water park. This existing natural shade is an asset and with smart design, can be cleverly incorporated to maximise shade through out the new water park.

The most successful play environments are those that connect people to place. Environments that are designed through inspiration from local legends; local stories; local natural landscapes and local cultures.

The Riverway precinct has a signiicant connection with the surrounding natural environment. We at Vee see the value of bespoke design over “of the shelf” water play equipment. Such design connects the community with the park, whilst creating an iconic landmark that attracts the wider community to the area.

The direct connection to the Ross River is a source of inspiration that should be explored. Using this natural feature, alongside Mount Stuart to inluence the design, detailing and play value of the water park.

pros:

• close access to existing car park zone

• outward views from existing cofee shop allowing greater parental surveillance

• area is currently open space that is underutilised

• good existing circulation with a variety of connecting pathways

• adjacent open space can be used as spill

out areas for seating and other passive recreational use

cons:

• unknown services & as constructed data

• proximity to main oval may create

congestion & clashes when events/games are in progress

• no existing natural shade

• due to distance and elevation, new plant

room infrastructure would be diicult to connect to existing services

pros:

• good existing natural shade with many large canopy trees over head

• strong connection with existing kids pool

• strong connection to adjacent all

abilities playground

• proposed area runs along the existing central spine axis, creating strong visual

connection with the current masterplan

• extension of this central spine will seamlessly integrate the water park into the over all parklands

• due to close proximity to the existing pools, connecting services will be

simpliied

• topography allows for greater opportunities to construct & hide new plant room infrastructure

Site 02 with its close proximity to existing infrastructure, existing shade and close ingegration of required plant ofers the most cost efective option.

Base on our exerience and utilisation of existing infrastructure and shade provisions, we anticipate a budget between $2.25 million and 3 million would be suient to deliver an internatinal standard bespoke water play environment at Rverway.

Explore design ideas together with the stakeholders, testing and reining the design.

Arrive at a preferred concept design or design options that can be presented back to the community for their endorsement and support. These would include design sketches, artist sketches and images to clearly communicate how the ideas can be translated into an integrated design solution for their water play facility.

Reinement of the concept design following the stakeholders comments, ensuring best practice hydraulic and engineering design has been considered.

Prepare reined design package including estimates of probable costs and ongoing operational considerations & costs; for approval by Local Government.

Presentation of inal design back to the local stakeholders to demonstrate reined design outcomes.
