Featuring ferny gardens and wide paths meandering through grassy stretches, this new village park is a budding landscape ripe for future growth.
Spread across 3.4 hectares, Buderim Village Park is an evolving public greenspace bursting with potential. Instigated by Sunshine Coast Council, the new parkland is a community-use open space located in the township of Buderim in Queensland that was designed to provide a link to nature and a space for recreations for locals and visitors to the region.
With an arrival plaza facing the corner of King and Church streets, the overall park scheme opens up to include a village green, open greenspace for recreation, internal pathways forming an upper and lower promenade, a viewing terrace, children’s play area, extensive plantings, a village square and multi-functional event space, along with barbecue areas and suitable parking for park users. The scheme also makes provisions for future recreation trails leading out of the park and into natural bushland.
A staged development that has been taking place over the past couple of years, the latest upgrades to the park include the installation of a full metal package fabricated and installed by Heka Group. Comprising barbecue and shade shelters and a butterfly-roof structure over the entertainment stage, along with balustrading throughout the park, the scope of works performed by Heka Group take the Buderim Village Park project into the next and final stage of its development.
Providing much needed cover from the elements, Heka Group, together with Sunshine Coast Council and JBD Steel Detailing, designed a series of shelters in steel and aluminium in an artistic representation of the region, with open sightlines that allow users to take in the sprawling mountain views and oceans vistas. Built to handle the harsh climate of the region, the structures received a protective coating that would ensure longevity within the park.
To secure safety and accessibility within the open space, Heka Group were also responsible for outfitting the park with steel fabricated balustrading. The clean lines and open framework of the balustrading meets the regulations required for public spaces, without impeding the astounding views — particularly from the viewing platform.
The standout feature of Buderim Village Park, however, is the entertainment stage. Erected to house public events and performances, the entertainment stage is edged in natural stone that settles it into the landscape seamlessly. Spreading over the stage is a butterfly-roof structure of steel and aluminium constructed by Heka Group. A monolithic arrangement that provides shelter over the stage as well as architectural appeal for the park, this event space is visible from everywhere in the park. In addition, aluminium laser-cut decorative panels line the back of the stage, celebrating the history of the region through their artistic representation of local flora and fauna.
