Description:

“Newcastle – your city is now home to one of the best waterfront parks in NSW.” – Rob Stokes, Minister for Planning, Public Spaces, Transport and Roads at NSW Government

Honeysuckle Park is part of Honeysuckle Urban Renewal, transforming and revitalising the Newcastle Harbour foreshore.

Glascott Landscape and Civil worked closely with Hunter & Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC), Terras Landscape Architects, consultants, and the community to deliver this important piece of public infrastructure for the region. Features include significant sandstone, restored historical maritime artefacts, and a new maritime themed playground, plus shelters and seating, BBQs, and native plantings.

Meeting the challenges on this project included working with the tides to carefully place large sandstone blocks along the waters edge to create a frame for the park and seating with views across the harbour.
