Two HASSELL projects have been recognised at the Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) Public Domain Awards 2009 - in Western Australia the Bunbury Coastal Enhancement Project Stage 3, and in New South Wales the Macquarie University Central Courtyard.
The Bunbury Coastal Enhancement Project was the national winner in the Paths category, and also won the state award for Western Australia. The precinct consists of a parkland that interfaces with the Hungry Hollow beachfront region and the busy distributor road, Ocean Drive. The concrete pathways, stairs and wall elements integrate with other materials to create a cohesive space that has a sense of purpose and permanence in a very tough environment.
Macquarie University Central Courtyard received the Sustainable design award. The upgrade of the 1964-designed courtyard caters for a future increase in student numbers by providing a durable and easily maintained surface, while enhancing the health of the existing trees, Corymbia (Eucalyptus) and Citriodora (Lemon Scented Gums).
