Fairfield City Council have planned the conversion of an existing ‘open’ carpark into a new multi-storey carpark, to provide an additional 198 paid parking spaces for commercial delivery vehicles and public cars. The work included changes to both the surrounding road network, the internal circulation of the two existing car parks, and Dutton Lane loop roadway that surrounds the car parks.
The project contributes to the rich cultural fabric of Cabramatta and is sympathetic to adjoining developments. The custom-designed facade to the upper levels of the new building and a new northern walkway to the original Dutton Lane car park incorporates an array of colours, arranged in a seemingly random sequence. East and west elevations of the new building integrates landscape on the upper levels, in the form of perimeter edge planters containing a bamboo screen. The plating serves to soften the shape of the new building and bring a sense of nature into the heart of the Cabramatta CBD. It also includes irrigation to the planter boxes, rainwater detention tanks, solar panels and new electric car charging spaces.
COMPLETE provided project management support during the feasibility, planning and contractor procurement stage of the project.
