Hampshire Road Civic Green in Sunshine has taken out another award – the 2022 Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Award for Civic Landscape.
Council is proud to be recognised again, following the Mainstream Award in 2021, for a project that has transformed the heart of Sunshine into a vibrant and safe space for social gatherings, and an area where shoppers can stay a little longer, meet friends, relax and enjoy their shopping.
We worked closely with local businesses and community members to transform a once car dominated streetscape into an exciting new public space.
The Civic Green is on the main street of Hampshire Road, between Devonshire Road and Bennett Place and offers an attractive shaded area with feature paving, trees, better seating and lighting and an open space for larger community events and footpath trading.
This project is a culmination of years of planning and design, transforming the heart of Sunshine through the delivery of the Hampshire Road Master Plan.
Brimbank Mayor, Cr Jasmine Nguyen welcomes the news
Brimbank Mayor, Cr Jasmine Nguyen said Council is delighted to receive another award for the Civic Green.
“The new Civic Green on Hampshire Road has been recognised for its streetscape design and accessibility of local outdoor space creating a more connected and vibrant space.
“The improvements are encouraging people to think, shop, buy and dine locally.
”Creating attractive green open spaces is one of the key ways we’re helping to make Brimbank a better place to live and visit.”
