Landscape and Public Realm

Central to the development concept is the establishment of a network of routes and spaces, which can provide valuable outdoor areas and create important connections through the site, between the station and the town centre. The public realm, which will be for pedestrians only, will be light, spacious and attractive.

Central Square, an open public square at the confluence of the network of streets will form the heart of the scheme and its social hub. There will also be a more open ‘gateway’ space adjacent to the proposed MRT stop and a new public space adjacent to the proposed Station Piazza. All will be publicly accessible and will incorporate attractive planting, seating and sculpture and water features.
