AMEX Tarneit - Open Space
Design Philosophy
Our philosophy for AMEX Tarneit is to develop a cohesive series of open spaces
that each have a diff erence focus, to encourage a wide range of community
participation in outdoor activity and engagement.
There are a number of benchmark activities that are currently being implemented
in open spaces within new developments, that are over and above the standard
playground and shelter. These include:
- Incorporation of cafes/ ‘pop up’ cafes
- Water Play
- Adventure Play (incorporating toilets and car parking)
- Kids traffi c school/trails
- Skate and scooter areas
- Community Gardens
- Dog-off -lead areas
- Passive/Active Spaces e.g. Yoga, Tai Chi etc
- Design for Fitness
- Fitness stations
These may be considered for inclusion in AMEX Tarneit.
The overall development is to be treated as two separate developments – North
and South. The Regional Rail Link becomes the physical barrier between the
two development areas. Given that they are separated and that the south will be
developed fi rst, there will be some overlap in the type of facilities provided.
01 01 MASTERPLAN - OPEN SPACELANDSCAPE OBJECTIVE
To develop a balanced (native & exotic)
robust palette of streetscapes that provide
amenity, shade and a visual cue to guide
circulation and activity within the new
community.

AMEX Tarneit - Open Space
Retarding Basin/Wetland/WSUD TBD
It has been recommended that WSUD measures be implemented into this reserve.
These could be formal in nature and possibly used for water harvesting. Other
features could include:
- Landscape terraces
- ‘Sunken’ kick about area
- Sculptural elements integrated that relate to the overall design style of
the development
- Formal water sensitive urban design
- Dog-off -lead
- Kids bike path
Main Reserve
Due to the location of this reserve centrally within the Southern Development area,
it is suggested that this become the main activity hub. It is suggested that this
reserve accommodate a wide range of activities.
- ‘Pop-up’ café space – community café
- Playground with sculptural elements and possible digital features (e.g. DJ
or dance related play)
- Kick about space
- Multipurpose hard-court to encourage ‘youth’ play (tennis/basketball/
netball)
- Outdoor performance/activity space

Design for Fitness
Secondary reserve within the development allows for more ‘passive’ recreation.
With the implementation of fi tness trails, the need for a ‘design for fi tness’ reserve
can be addressed in this location. The reserve is centrally located and connects the
proposed fi tness loop.
- Jogging track/ children’s cycling circuit (approx. 350m)
- Boot camp area – open area
- Fitness stations
- Landscape elements that are designed to be used for fi tness as well as
landscape amenity
- Possibility to create smart phone applications that provide demonstrations
on how to use the various fi tness stations and ‘design for fi tness’ elements
to gain certain fi tness benefi ts (Wifi )
Main Reserve
Due to the close proximity of this reserve to the Primary School and its central
location within the development, it is envisaged that this will ultimately become
the most used reserve. To facilitate this potential high usage, it is suggested
that this reserve accommodate various activities as well as community facilities
including public toilets.
- Adventure Playground (Possible digital playground through the
implementation of light and sound as a play mechanism. Using light
within the playground could encourage extended hours of play into late
afternoon in winter when it becomes dark early. Light also provides overall
safety).
- Wifi – which can be used through the digital playground
- Public toilets and car parking
- Youth node – multi-purpose court or skate area
- Community café (close to school)
- Kick about space
In the Northern AMEX development, three key open spaces are aligned in a ‘spine’. It is
anticipated that residents will move freely between open spaces, depending upon the
focus of activity they wish to pursue. The spaces should ‘look and feel’ similar to create a
perception of a continuous open space.

This reserve is located adjacent to the electricity transmission easement and is
furthest from the Primary School and main community hub. It is suggested that
this reserve will accommodate community gardens – low activity that is suitable
adjacent to electricity easement and a passive activity that will encourage users
from outside the direct proximity catchment.
- Community Garden
- Feature herbs gardens
- Community gathering space and shelter
Dog Park and Fitness Trail
A passive activity needs to be implemented below the electricity transmission
easement. A Dog-off -lead reserve is suggested as well as this area forming part of
the fi tness trail loop.
- Dog-off lead reserve
- Fitness trail
- Smart Phone applications that provide information on fi tness trails
available within the area including distances (Wifi )
- Bike trail connecting areas to the east and west.
