Our vision is to have healthy, diverse and sustainable ecological corridors throughout the western grasslands. We respect and acknowledge the cultural values of the Bunurong, Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri Woi wurrung people as we work side by side to care for this country.
The Line
The main purpose of Line is to implement measures for fauna sensitive roads and infrastructure for animal movement within the corridors. refer to 'conceptual steps for designing corridors' and 'Fauna sensitive road design manual'. Consider the need for fencing or other forms of physical barriers to keep people or livestock out of the corridor in certain situations. The fencing and infrastructure catalog lists three types of fencing summarized in different areas of the corridor depending on the geographical conditions and needs. Protective fences are also the basic fences used in most corridor areas: they prevent people or livestock from entering the corridor and protect the flora and fauna in the corridor from damage. Guidance fences are usually set up near roads: they are used to guide animals along a specific path and help them return to the corridor. Exclusion fences: isolate specific species from the biological corridor and deter invasive species.
The Field
In the design of the biocorridor, we merge both linear and landscape views, trying to create and open up a space that allows particular species to move through the landscape on a large scale. We explore the movement, pathways and transport.the bike road and walking road along the biodiversity corridors that people can experience the grassland. ecological and semi-natural view would attracting people to come in and use this grassland. the small pond with Knobby club-rush around provide a particular environment for the Amphibians,. And the kangaroo grass in the center of the corridor encourage mammals settled. And the Moo-nah along the corridor edge fencing area provide a shelter for bird. These local fauna is attracted and encouraged to move in the corridor.
The Shed
The shed has been transformed into a
multipurpose center
that offers various modes of transportation including a train station, tram charging station, bike garage, and car parking. People can take a train or drive to the Little River station and then switch to a trackless tram or ride bicycles to explore the western plains. The
multipurpose center
is divided into east and west sections, connected by a pedestrian bridge. The main entrances are located on the south and west sides, with nearby car parking. Trees have been planted near the hub to act as barriers and minimize the impact on the wildlife and plants in the protected area of the Little River Reserve. To ensure safety and traffic efficiency, bicycle lanes have been designed on both sides of the road, with barriers separating them from the main road.
