dawson street precinct sunshine

The Dawson Street precinct sits behind Hampshire Road (Sunshine’s main street) and contains commercial land uses, at-grade parking and the Sunshine Leisure Centre. The project resulted in a new public realm, creating an attractive pedestrian precinct. The site is also a drainage low point, being the former location of diverted creek, and is subject to flooding. FFLA worked closely with project team to find ways to harness the opportunities provided by this and maximise water sensitive urban design outcomes as a part of the upgrade.
