Award:

• 2019 Planning Institute of Australia ACT, Planning Excellence Award for Best Planning Ideas – Small Project

Residents and traders empowered to deliver projects for their neighbourhood in partnership with the City Renewal Authority.

In partnership with CRA, Oculus and Right Angle, CoDesign Studio (now Fourfold Studio) developed an evidence-based, action-oriented and coordinated placemaking plan and event calendar to revitalise the inner city suburb of Braddon, ACT. 

The strategy provides short-term actions, like installations, activations and minor public-realm improvements to enhance the physical and social aspects of Braddon’s already established identity. Additionally, it puts in place longer-term actions, designs and strategies for public-realm improvements and placemaking activities that will further enhance Braddon as a destination precinct.

A highly collaborative and place-based approach was adopted including the highlight engagement evening ‘Hello Braddon!’, an interactive event with live music, a grazing table showcasing produce from local businesses, and a live artist illustrating ideas for the precinct.
