The Eastlakes Town Centre is a vibrant town centre with over 400 apartments in nine buildings, to be constructed in stages. The buildings range in height from 2-6 storeys above a retail podium. 14,400m2 of retail and community floor space was built, along with over 900 basement car parking spaces, together with landscaping and associated infrastructure works.
The new town centre provides a significantly improved main street along Evans Avenue, activated by retail uses. A public space, ‘the Market Square’, was provided to enliven the interface with Eastlakes Reserve and help activate the park and provide greater passive surveillance.
Improved pedestrian linkages were provided with a east-west through-site link and improved north-south connections with an active urban edge to Eastlakes Reserve.
Vehicular access to the basement car parks was improved, with one access point to the northern part of the town centre site and two access points to the southern part of the town centre.
This project was the culmination of several years of collaboration effort between the joint venture partners Crown Group, Rice Daubney and DFP.
This project won the 2013 UDIA NSW Concept Design Award.
