Project Description
For the Thomas Jack Park Redevelopment project, Griffith Architecture aims to redesign the the Thomas Jack Park in order to benefit the local community by creating an appealing space for tourism and local use. Through the redesign of this natural area, the team is reinforcing the identity of the space through key design elements, and ensuring quality of appearance and equipment.
Project Personnel and Beneficiaries
This project will benefit the local community in the Western Downs region, by providing an engaging natural space and increasing tourism.
Outcomes to Date
So far, the project has conducted a community consultation sessions and survey to ensure maximum community engagement during decision making in the project. Results from this consultation showed a desire for use of the space to become more accessible and disability friendly (SDG 10), enhance physical wellbeing and exercise (SDG 3), and to increase vegetation and natural biodiversity (SDG 15).
Project Significance
This project contributes to SDG11 and SDG17. Under SDG11, the redevelopment of Thomas Jack Park allows the redesign of a natural space for community use and benefit. The project will allow the space to be used to its full potential and create an inclusive space in the community. Through this project, Griffith University has partnered with the Western Downs Regional Council, acting on SDG17, working together towards a shared goal and the creation of a sustainable space for the community.
