Join us for a FB IDEAs lunch & learn and explore recent community-led consultations leading to inclusive designs and smart land use - reshaping Melbourne’s public spaces into resilient, sustainable hubs.

Hub Member Marina Kozul shares Studio MK's hands-on expertise with large-scale projects underway with Development Victoria, delving into the challenges and triumphs of collaborating with diverse, unconventional stakeholders.

Explore how initiatives like the Greenline have been reimagined by incorporating perspectives from children and families, tackling Melbourne's pressing shortage of quality playspaces and parks in the CBD.

Gain fresh ideas from the Reimagining Old Footscray Hospital (ROFOHO) Park, where a neglected psychiatric building frontage - once a mere carpark - is evolving into a thriving community hub. By prioritising functional opportunities, land use, solar orientation, and existing vegetation, the design ensures long-term sustainability. Adding intrigue: Community groups have driven all consultations so far, upending conventional processes to amplify local voices.

Whether you are an urban designer, community advocate, policymaker, or enthusiast eager to reshape Melbourne's public spaces:

Join us for practical takeaways, project visuals, and the opportunity to connect and exchange ideas for equitable, resilient urban futures - influencing inclusive cities and precincts.
