Ballast Point Park
By Evan Maclean
This multi-award-winning 2.5ha post-industrial waterfront park is located on a remediated lubricant production site on the Birchgrove Peninsula in the inner reaches of Sydney harbour. The site’s richly layered history included occupation by indigenous people, construction of the ’Menevia’ marine villa in the 1860s, quarry used for ship ballast and finally petroleum distillation by Caltex from the 1920s until 2002. As lead consultant, McGregor Coxall undertook project management, design development, and construction documentation and administered the construction contract for the client. This project’s design is driven by a strong environmental agenda where recycled materials are used sitewide. Wind turbine generators reflect a movement away from fossil fuels and integrated stormwater management and recycle system ensures that all stormwater entering Sydney Harbour from the site has been cleaned and polished prior to its discharge.
