Gordonvale, Queensland

The Gordonvale Townscape & Tourism Strategy and Master Plan was initiated by the local community to address concerns held by residents on a future threatened by suburban growth. A townscape master plan was prepared that preserved the essential character of Gordonvale by interpreting the town's heritage. The result was based in extensive community consultation and participation through surveys, workshops and meetings that allowed for the residents to direct the development of their own town.

Detail design and documentation included pavement mosaics, street and park furnishings and children's playground to interpret the town's history.
