Concept Designs - Our Journey to the Final Concept Design
We are excited to share that the final concept design package for the Regenerating the Alice Town Centre project has been completed. This significant milestone is the result of extensive collaboration, community feedback, and thoughtful design refinements.
This package embodies our commitment to creating a vibrant,accessible, and inclusive Alice Town Centre.
Regenerating the Alice Town Centre Final Concept Design Package
Design rationale
The recommended final concept package has been selected after assessment as to its:
– Alignment with project vision and guiding principles
– Community engagement outcomes
– Achievement of implementation principles.
The final concept design package comprises a combination of designs from the draft public realm options developed during the project.
The final concept package comprises:
Todd Mall streetscape renewal
– incorporating an Art Walk feature
New community Space
– adjoining Uniting Church and connecting via an Arbour Path to Hartley Street
Subject to funding, at least some or part of these optional projects may also be included in detailed design or implementation stages:
Todd Street / Parsons Street connectivity improvements
– (mostly traffic, parking and linemarking changes)
Hartley Street car park improvements
– (re-scoped to a lower cost to prioritise useability and amenity)
Draft Concept Design and Display Packages
The draft concept design and display packages present various design options for key locations, developed to assist in stakeholder engagement. The overall plans in these files are indicative and do not reflect a preferred design approach.
Co-design Workshops
The three-day Co-Design Workshop emphasized community collaboration to create concept design options for the Alice Town Centre.
Through this collaborative process, participants were directly involved in the development and testing of emerging master plan ideas, visions, and concepts for key locations, ensuring the project reflected the diverse needs and aspirations of the community.
