A masterplan with seamless connectionsThe masterplan will improve the primary connection to and from Windsor Station on main path which is wide, well lit and accessible. Secondary connections will provide unrestricted access based on pedestrian desire lines.

A masterplan with legible entrancesThe masterplan has identified two primary entrances and two secondary entrances to Windsor Siding. These will be visually open to improve legibility and sight-lines to and from the site. Their positioning will provide improved wayfinding via signage and identification.

A masterplan with improved functionalityThe masterplan has used the pedestrian desire lines and access points to determine the definition of spaces in Windsor Siding. Through the programming of activities and use of underutlised space the masterplan achieves more functional spaces with fewer conflicts of use.

How the masterplan spaces will function

Legend

01 – Central HubThe Central Hub will be a meeting place for the community. An epicenter of activity that overlooks the various precincts and activities in the park.

02 – Primary Movement AxisThe Primary Movement Axis will provide unimpeded access directly through the site between Windsor Station and Union Street.

03 – Eastern PrecinctThe Eastern Precinct will incorporate a reconfigured professionally designed BMX circuit.

04 – Southern PrecinctThe Southern Precinct will provide a large expanse of open grass for ball sports, picnics and a run-around space for dogs. The space will be large enough to be shared amongst the variety of uses required with minimal conflicts.

05 – Western PrecinctThe Western Precinct will provide a functional plaza space for community uses assoicated with the Stonnington Children’s Centre and the Will Sampson Hall users. It will function as a meeting place and forecourt to the existing civic buildings.

06 –Northern PrecinctThe Northern Precinct will be a linear activity space with multi-functional uses. Facilities will include basketball, netball, tennis wall, playground and skateable elements.

07 –Station InterfaceAn opportunity exists to work with PTV and VicTrack (owners of this parcel of land) to transform this area into an open and inviting entry to Windsor Station, with DDA compliant entry and direct access to Windsor Station. The gateway entry should be legible, open and safe.
