The Wetlands Precinct has been designed to allow the three key onsite stakeholders to expand their operations as well as cater for the wider community.

​

Metal wall and roof cladding in colours that reflect the natural bush are combined with feature rammed earth walls that define the entrances and offer opportunities for wayfinding and artistic expression through its colour, form, and texture. Formal paths between the buildings will reflect the colours and material used in the rammed earth to further connect the architecture with the landscape.
