Principal Design Consultant appointed for memorial park development in Harkness
We’re excited to announce that ASPECT Studios will be the Principal Design Consultant for the upcoming memorial park development in Harkness, located in Melbourne’s west.
This partnership marks an exciting step forward in the creation of a contemporary, inclusive memorial park. Drawing on a multi-staged masterplan, early design work, and feedback from the local community, Traditional Owners, and stakeholders, ASPECT Studios will collaborate with GMCT on the development of detailed designs for the park’s first stage.
Key features of the first stage include:
Burial and memorial areas
Landscaping and essential infrastructure
A multi-use administration and events building
Parking facilities
ASPECT Studios will further guide the park’s design, which has drawn inspiration from the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains and incorporated elements of the site's distinctive ecology, geology, cultural landscapes and local community.
Construction is expected to begin by mid-2025.
