A design competition focused on a key business area of Moorabbin, Victoria, has proven a winner for the City of Kingston.
The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) recently presented Aiden Mullen, the council’s Activity Centre Place Manager, with the President’s Award for Most Outstanding Contribution.
The state award was forthcoming after the council invited businesses and residents to submit fresh ideas for the transformation of Moorabbin Junction, as part of the Street 14 design competition.
The objective was to encourage a creative approach towards rejuvenating the area, to achieve a beautiful, sustainable, vibrant and regenerative public space.
The council received 53 entries from students, the community and landscape artists.
The opportunity, which was promoted on flying printing and the council’s website, was an open competition offering a prize from AILA, as well as Best Urban Tactic, Student and Moorabbin community awards.
The minds and hearts of the community of Kingston had been captured through the staging of the Street 14 competition, according to Victorian AILA president Jon Shinkfield.
John Nevins, City of Kingston CEO, said Moorabbin Junction was a key gateway to the rest of the city, and the latest award recognised the dedication and hard work of many to enhance it for future generations.
He further explained how the competition also brought together residents, community groups and local businesses that were united in realising Moorabbin Junction’s great potential.
