Honeysuckle Park is part of Honeysuckle Urban Renewal, transforming and revitalising the Newcastle Harbour foreshore.
Glascott worked closely with Hunter & Central Coast Development Corporation (HCCDC), Terras Landscape Architects, consultants, and the community to deliver this important piece of public infrastructure.
The park features significant sandstone seawalls and seating, restored historical maritime artefacts, and a new maritime-themed playground. Other elements include new shelters and seating, BBQs, and native plantings.
The large sandstone blocks were carefully and effectively positioned along the water’s edge to frame the park and provide seating with views across the harbour line.
One of the challenges on this project was working with the tides and timing the placement of the sandstone. Our team was able to expertly handle the specifications to deliver a high-quality public asset.
