The Seaford Road and Carrum level crossing removal projects have shone at the 2024 VIC Landscape Architecture Awards.
The Seaford Road project was recognised by judges at the infrastructure awards thanks to its innovative hybrid design which lowered Seaford Road by 1.5m and built the rail line onto a planted embankment.
This design didn’t only remove the dangerous and congested level crossing but also delivered new shared use paths, better pedestrian connections, an adventure playground and open space as part of a revitalisation of the RF Miles Reserve.
The new open space created as part of our Carrum project leads the way in urban design. By elevating the rail line, a town square was created at the station entrance and the new foreshore park and beach promenade has linked Carrum village to the beach and bay.
Both projects celebrate local Indigenous culture with the inclusion of design elements which reflect Traditional Owners’ connection to country.
The landscaping works at Seaford Road and in Carrum have helped shape resilient, culturally conscious, climate positive and inspiring places that locals can enjoy for decades to come.
