A brief is a short version of a case study.
Part of Barangaroo, Headland Park transformed an industrial site into a six-hectare (15-acre) park for the community featuring 75,000 native plants and native Australian bee colonies to support local pollination. Working with local researchers, Lendlease also enhanced the park’s marine habitat, installing 384 habitat tiles made of oyster shells and crushed sandstone to mimic natural marine structures. Restoration of the shoreline and its integration with a seawall provide both resilience benefits and an opportunity for mollusk and seagrass growth. Lendlease also plans to work long term with local researchers to remove invasive species and monitor the process, hopefully informing future marine conservation. After one year, the project already features new seaweed as well as large and small fish.
