Complementing The Queensbridge Building, an active proposal with the City of Melbourne reimagines the 10,000 m² underpark below the Kings Way overpass as Melbourne’s Low Line, inspired by New York’s celebrated High Line. Central to the proposal is a community food truck area, envisioned as an external food court for the city. Owned by the council, these food trucks aim to bring a new spark to Melbourne’s culinary scene, which has long thrived on the creativity of owner-chefs. This isn’t about high-end, expensive restaurants—it’s about bringing accessible and exciting offerings to the community. The space incorporates community sporting facilities, including a basketball and Futsal court, a kids’ playground, and a bouldering facility. An EV charging fleet, sunken amphitheatre, and public art commissions will further set the tone for a personable and community-focused neighbourhood, serving Melbourne’s densest population. Located within a flood zone, the design integrates water catchments to remove surface water and filter it through an urban wetland rich with endemic species, fostering biodiversity and enhancing flood resilience. #thequeensbridgebuilding #southbank #melbourne #architecture #melbournearchitecture
