Wk 9 Masterplans Reworked

Attempting to represent:

• building & change over time
• communication

2020 - Consultation & Communication Phase: La Nina & Bust

• 3 Festivals / Year – eg. Woodford Folk Festival, Splendour in the Grass, the Dreaming
• 3 Other Events
• The Planting

2021 to 2023 - Phase: El Nino & Bust

• Commence Building Program on degraded land – Cabins, Stage, Multipurpose Centre
• Stablising riparian zones
• Expanded Festivals – eg. Woodford Folk Festival, Dreaming, Splendour, Harvest, All Tomorrow’s Parties, other arts events

2024 to 2025 - Phase: El Nino & Economic Rebound

• Tourism grows – “Art City in Lush Native Forest” [references 500 year plan]
• Building Program - Sustainable Learning Centre – hub for tours of site, learning about sustainable building through the cabins, forest walks
• Expanded Events in addition to expanded festivals – functions, conferences, arts events, education programs & workshops [relates to economic rebound, events held in multipurpose centre, stage, sustainable learning centre]

2026 to 2028 - Phase: Economic Growth

• Site is in full operation – venues adapting for different purposes
• $ put into renewable energy power generation [so that in more difficult economic times the cost of running the events and festivals are drastically reduced “spend less, earn more” and the program of what is happening on the site is sustainable] – art, sustainability & economics intrinsically intertwined

Tutorial Feedback:

• Is ceremony hill the best place for a permanent arts venue? Would it be better to replace a temporary structure for a permanent structure in the festival village?
• Should smaller scale renewable power infrastructure (eg. rooftop solar panels on the cabins) be embedded within the site where the power is needed rather than large-scale infrastructure in the area isolated away from the site? Power loss in distribution will be a problem
• Test the capacities in each of the areas - ie. how is the festival capacity reduced as the cabins replace campsites
• More detail needed in the festival village

Some other thoughts I am having:

• There are too many plans - I need to find a better way to represent change in a more condensed way
• There are too many cabins - viability of building & maintaining these and too many campsites are lost
