Homebush Transport Oriented Development Rezoning
Urban Strategy
Incremental delivery of the Greater Sydney Green Grid through precinct planning and rezoning
Open space planning for maximum benefits
We provided detailed open space assessment and public domain proposals for Homebush, as part of the NSW State Government’s Transport Oriented Development Accelerated Precincts Program. The delivery of new open space and parks to support growth in Homebush is an important component of this rezoning. The opportunity in this precinct is to improve and maximise the connection to major parks, providing connected recreational, ecological and hydrological systems through the open space network. With Sydney Olympic Park and Bicentennial Park at its doorstep, plus five major rail and metro stations, we demonstrated how Homebush can offer excellent walking and cycling access to open space as it densifies in response to new land zonings.
Delivering the Green Grid through rezoning: the Homebush precinct can provide connected open space along the Powells Creek corridor to Sydney Harbour.
Major, connected green space at the heart of the Homebush precinct
Our strategy proposed a major new district park at the heart of the precinct that connects walking and cycling routes. We located a network of local and small parks at stations, shopping centres and within residential neighbourhoods to provide long term amenity. Through a set of principles, diagrams and plans, we demonstrated how parks could be connected through major green corridors as well as the fine grain urban network.
A range of active and passive uses can be co-located in a well-sized, central open space supporting ongoing population growth.
Integrating blue and green systems
The Powells Creek linear park corridor is one of a family of linear parks that connect along creek lines to Parramatta River and Sydney Harbour. We investigated ways to improve the water treatment system, looking to slow the flow of stormwater through streets and open spaces in order to reduce peak flow rates within Powells Creek. Stormwater can be captured, filtered and reused for irrigation throughout green streets and open spaces.
Existing wetlands along Powells Creek provide access to natural landscapes, support for increased biodiversity and natural stormwater mitigation.
The sequence of existing parks along Powells Creek could be consolidated in a major new district park at the heart of the precinct.
Our public domain proposals include new open spaces, existing open space upgrades, future pedestrian links and new streets, all connected in a shaded active transport network. We located open space strategically to help minimise flooding impacts and utilise open space as blue-green infrastructure.
