RAVENSWOOD TOWNSHIP

 

Gugu-Badhun Country

Placemaking

Continuing 2017

​

Ravenswood is a township in decline,  despite relatively high tourist visitation.

​

There is a push among locals to offer something more than the stock-standard "Ye Olde Worlde" offer common to many gold-rush era villages.

​

Our analysis revealed that there was a distinct lack of common meeting space for locals, and that the pub/hub did not have outdoor area, to host events (such as weddings etc)

​

Regional Design Service designed a simple,  cost-effective plaza to be placed on disused land abutting the hotel; which would be accessible to everyone and used by everyone - a 'Town Square', if you like.
