Campbell Section 5
Campbell Section 5 occupies a pivotal site at the junction of two major Griffin axes between Capital Hill and Mount Ainslie, and Civic and Russell. Few sites, by location, are awarded the opportunity to reinforce this dominant Canberra Legacy.
The Griffin’s early plans proposed a grand boulevard linking the Municipal Centre (Civic) with the Market Centre (Russell) – Constitution Avenue. Whilst this avenue was realised in almost all its entirety, the centre of Russell failed to develop as Griffin intended. Early plans envisaged a destination and waterfront square for the junction
of these important axes. Further erosion of the status of this boulevard occurred with the creation of Parkes Way – dividing Constitution Avenue from the Waterfront Parklands and the more extensive group of public buildings in the landscape associated with the waterfront square.
Section 5 sits adjacent to Constitution Avenue and ANZAC Parade, forming the south-west corner of Campbell. Our work explores the ways in which this residual area can be knitted back into the surrounding urban fabric – transforming it into a cohesive urban precinct and linking these distinctive neighbourhoods. The Preferred Concept Master Plan makes considered responses to the existing public domain networks and residential character of Campbell with a proposed shift in land use and Open Space boundaries.
The Preferred Concept Master Plan provides a contemporary, yet subtle acknowledgement of the intent of the early Griffin plan and subsequent Griffin Legacy works. Key themes of streetscape and amenity, open space provision and built form have benefited from iterative design between community engagement sessions.
The project was formally announced by Minister Barr in September 2013
