The design for the area around the Anzac Station's Albert Road entrance integrates First Nations cultural narratives and honours Traditional Owners through Indigenous vegetation, wetland features, and use of Boonwurrung words associated with water engraved into stone seating.
The area’s garden beds and paving design include a rainwater harvesting system, ensuring a strong connection to the land and cultural practices.
A dedicated pavilion, designed by First Nations architect Jefa Greenaway and taking its inspiration from the leaves of the Sheoak, has been installed in the revamped Albert Road Reserve.
Rainwater from the pavillion feeds a water bowl, representing a 'tarnuk' - a traditional wooden container used for collecting water.
