Providence Estate, South Ripley QLD, Australia (2017)

A bursting leaf design perforates bright yellow custom seat backs designed by Cardno for the new neighbourhood of Providence Estate in South Ripley.

The mild steel with zinc phosphate panels, powder coated in Brilliant Yellow, are fixed onto pre-cast concrete seats in two parkland areas designed for families to meet in community backyards.

“We used the floral motif on the back rests of these seats to incorporate nature, which is an integral part of this modern and vibrant community,” says Dallas Ellis, Graphic Designer with Cardno.

“These bright yellow seating elements were designed to add an element of vibrancy to the neighbourhood parks and hubs, forming a backbone throughout the Providence parklands.

“The brilliant yellow is also part of the estate branding suite, adding a contemporary feel to these areas.”

Two seating lengths cater for group and individual settings, with panels 1500mm and 600mm long each featuring the bespoke leaf pattern.

Dotted amongst natural sandstone and concrete plinths, the seats provide a place to chat and watch the kids play on the lawn – when they’re not enjoying the Splash ‘N Play Park, also designed by Cardno, down the road.

“There has been great response from the local community and developer, with a view to evolve and develop similar seating within the town centre drawing on the brand’s eclectic palette of patterns and colours,” says Ellis.

“Street Furniture Australia realised our design when creating these seating elements with a high level of finish and attention to detail and safety standards.”

Street Furniture Australia collaborated with the designer on the technical aspects of the laser cut pattern. The installation was carried out by Interface Landscapes.

Mildura Water Play Park

The Mildura Water Play Park revitalises parkland along the Murray River, inviting families to relax and play in a prime riverfront setting. Mildura Rural City Council commissioned the project to revive a 10 kilometre stretch of public park as part of an $18.3 million upgrade of the river precinct. Landscape architects Tract Consultants, with contractors King Construction Group, transformed the space into a local hotspot that attracted 1000 visitors each weekend in its first summer. “Given the hot climate of Mildura a waterplay facility was identified as an activity; to use that as part of the wider masterplan would help encourage people back to the park and the river,” says Nigel Parker, associate landscape architect with Tract. The firm designed a 40 metre long artificial stream, laid out like a river delta …

Splash ‘n’ Play Water Park, Providence

The $3.4 million Splash ‘n’ Play Water Park, designed by Cardno Landscape Architecture and built by JMac Constructions, is the first of its kind in the Ripley Valley and a summer drawcard for local families. “Our designers have created the park with elements of surprise that will keep even the biggest of kids amused,” Providence Director Michael Khan told the The Queensland Times. “Children can race through a maze of aqua arches, misty mountains and giant gushers that spurt water towers unexpectedly from the ground. “Our bigger kids’ zone will have 4m high water features that shoot water down to the ground. Anyone who enters the zone will be certain to get wet – and have a smile on their face. “There’s even day beds where mums and dads can …
