WATERFORD WEST MASTERPLAN

Logan City Council engaged Guymer Bailey Architects and Ross Planning to undergo a detailed spatial needs assessment and stakeholder consultation to develop the masterplan for the Waterford West District Sports Park.

The masterplan includes a diverse mix of active spaces that cater to various fitness levels and ages including a water play area, adventure play area, pump track, kick and throw area with a stage for outdoor performances and movie nights, running loop, outdoor gym and fitness hub, sport area with multipurpose courts, table tennis and equipment hire and a recreation hub with a café. Direct linkages to nearby Marsden State High School and Marsden State School were also considered through the design.

With the site partially flood affected and cut through by two open stormwater channels, water sensitive urban design strategies have been incorporated into the masterplan. This includes a stormwater bio-retention basin that will help to improve water quality, runoff and biodiversity. Development on the site will be balanced, ensuring the retention of significant vegetation.
