Completed in December 2016, Design landscapes (DL) undertook landscape works extending from Harbourside in the North of the site to the Chinese Gardens in the south. Additional works in Tumbalong Park were also completed, contributing to the additional 3000sqm of greenspace in the precinct.

With close to 30 years of experience in design and construction, taking on a large-scale commercial project of this size is nothing new for the team at DL. Skilled contractors in everything from green walls and stormwater harvesting, to water features and public domain landscapes, the scope of work undertaken to fulfil the project objectives of this job fell well within the capabilities of Design Landscapes.

Works undertaken for the Darling Harbour redevelopment include:

• Design and construction of sloping green roof on the ICC building
• Design and construction of three new water features (carried out by DL’s inhouse hydraulics team)
• Revamp of the historic Woodward fountain pump room 
• Paving works, concrete, and stabilised decomposed granite
• Design and construction of timber decks
• Design and construction of irrigation works
• Soft landscape works
• Supply and installation of handrails, balustrades and corten panels to ICC building exterior
• Design and installation of precast concrete furniture package
• Extensive architectural precast package

Expanding on their extensive experience in designing and installing quality landscape infrastructure ventures, the Darling Harbour precinct project was an opportunity for Design Landscapes to further expand their capabilities to the supply and install of high-quality architectural and public domain precast concrete elements.

As a result of the works undertaken for the Darling Harbour project, Design Landscapes is now providing a specialised supply and install service for precast concrete ranging from both architectural precast to high-quality precast furniture and urban elements.

Precast elements installed in the Darling Harbour precinct include:

• Step treads
• Balustrade panels
• RL12 balcony slab caps
• Tangram seats (4 different unit sizes)
• Woodward fountain seats and bleachers
• Teen water play bleachers
