Situated just 16 kilometres from the city on Sydney’s leafy North Shore, Ku-ring-gai is known for its natural beauty and urban villages. It’s a picturesque lifestyle with clean waterways, striking wildlife and action-packed events backed by great services and infrastructure.
Ku-ring-gai stretches from near the Roseville cinema in the south to Wahroonga Park in the north, and from St Ives Showground in the east to Lane Cove National Park in the west.
The Requirement
To make the redevelopment of St Ives Skate Park an enjoyable and inviting space for both locals and visitors by adding comfortable seating and effective waste management solutions. This project aims to create a cleaner, more pleasant environment that complements the natural beauty and vibrant lifestyle of the Ku-ring-gai community in Sydney's North Shore.
The Challenges
It was important to ensure that the park upgrade had minimal impact on the surrounding natural beauty of St Ives park. It was important to choose materials for the seats that could withstand weather conditions, daily wear and tear, and potential vandalism, while remaining low-maintenance and environmentally friendly. It was important to balance functionality with visual appeal to create an inviting and attractive outdoor space that blends well with the surrounding environment.
The Solution
After evaluating the challenges and requirements, the council selected the Athens Stainless Steel Bins with sloping cover and the Madrid DDA Seat with woodgrain aluminium slats, polished aluminium armrests and straight base plate to improve the amenity for children and parents of St Ives park.
By selecting the Madrid DDA Seats and Athens Wheelie Bin Enclosures, Ku-Ring-Gai Council achieved its objective to create a cleaner, more pleasant environment that complements the natural beauty and vibrant lifestyle of the Ku-ring-gai community
“This latest park upgrade really is a great move forward for the residents and visitors of St Ives! The Madrid seats provide ample space for parents to sit and watch their kids. We also like the bin enclosures because they help keep the area clean without the eyesore of stand alone wheelie bins sitting around the park,” said the client.
Products used:
- 120L Athens – stainless steel sloping covered top wheelie bin vivica charcoal
- Madrid DDA Seat – woodgrain aluminium slats with polished aluminium armrests and straight base plate
