Landscape Concept of Five Connecting Ribbons

The upgrade works to Wanganui and Ford Roads offers a great opportunity to not only improve access and movement for vehicles using the upgraded infrastructure. Road corridors are arteries that convey more than just traffic. They connect communities. Both, in longitudinal direction and across. These include, next to cyclists and pedestrians using active transport methods, also flora and fauna that spread and connect bio-habitat areas through road corridors.In order to curate the various methods and types of transport, the idea of 5 ribbons has been deployed, each focussing on a special programme. In their linear development, these ribbons respond to site specific characteristics, strengthening relevant aspects and creating new opportunities.Wanganui and Ford Roads will grow into the well established network of grand avenues of tall, stately native trees, that make Shepparton a special place, creating entry experiences into the city’s inner expands whilst offering small and slow places and opportunities to engage with the rich natural setting of the city.

The Road network. The design of the roads will provide a clear delineation between driveways, intersections, securing safety for all users.

Black Ribbon

The Shared User Path. Active transport can include walking, cycling, skating, skateboarding and other ways to get from A to B. Active transport is an easy way to participate in physical activity for recreational or health benefits. To support the use of Shared User Path a series of ‘hubs’ are proposed at special landscape settings such as channel crossings to provide resting points, bike pumps and repair stations, water fountains, etc.

Yellow Ribbon

Water management. Shepparton and its surrounds are defined and shaped by water. From wetlands and riparian landscapes of the Goulburn River to the manmade irrigation channels that traverse and connect the agricultural land. The project offers a great opportunity to connect, extend and feed these systems by using a swale system in lieu of a standard pipes to convey stormwater run off. This supports as passive irrigation the vegetation of the road verges.

Blue Ribbon

Tree canopy and ground cover. In line with the city Council’s urban forest strategy an increase of tree canopy using a wide range of species, predominantly Australian native, in a way to create bio habitat and define quality of spaces. Part of the Green ribbon will be a detailed planting plan that considers VicRoads’ requirements, spatial design and flowering regimes of proposed tree and under storey vegetation.

Green Ribbon

Culture and Community. This strategy provides an opportunity for small moments enabling community life: gathering spaces, picnic tables, seating benches, etc. It can include design guidelines and offer inspiration for public art installations, driveway/ entry gate designs, letter boxes etc.
