beach themed precincts perfect for summer

It’s not every year a theme park is designed and constructed in Australia, and this particular park is strategically located near Dreamworld providing loads of adventure and choice.

A preliminary landscape character study and Masterplan determined appropriate precinct landscape treatment and individual characters to embolden the themed Architecture and rides.

a sense of fun and adventure

Naturally a theme park is a place of fun and adventure. Enhancement of spaces through species selection, character and positioning reflects the culture and context of the theme park.

landscape elements include: 

  • feature entry palm bosques to ‘draw’ patrons to the main attraction, the wave pool. 
  • large shade trees to provide gathering areas for patrons. 
  • coloured and patterned pavements to merge and enhance the waterpark theme. 
  • decorative and buffer planting to boost patron experience.
