Victoria Square, Adelaide, SA

The upgrade involved providing a large lawn event space with plug and play infrastructure for mobile activities, a pedestrian promenade, installation of lighting for safety and a new water feature
Project Design Brief
Designers required safe, efficient and durable drainage systems across the entire Victoria Square site.
