阿彻山是罗克汉普顿最具代表性的旅游景点，最近由罗克汉普顿地区委员会和Design+Architecture合作进行的振兴项目，将一个未被充分利用的山顶转化为该地区最受欢迎的野餐、活动和旅游场所。该项目旨在激活以前未被充分利用的空间，并利用该地区最好的自然资产之一，其主要成果包括建造一个新的户外圆形剧场和高架木板路，以及一个游乐场和野餐设施。

Situated on top of Mt Archer, Rockhampton’s most iconic tourist destination, the recent revitalization by Rockhampton Regional Council and Design+Architecture has transformed an underutilized mountain-top peak into the region’s go-to picnic, event, and tourist locale. Intended to activate what was previously underutilized space and capitalise on one of the region’s best natural assets, the project’s key deliverables included the construction of a new outdoor amphitheater and elevated boardwalk as well as a playground and picnic facilities.

200个座位的露天剧场和高架舞台提供了城市和风景如画的菲茨罗伊河的全景，使该空间能够为当地社区提供重要的公共和文化利益，曾举办过婚礼、公共普拉提课程和当地音乐会。空间视觉舒适度的提高也吸引了数以百计的游客前来拍摄，并在无意中通过社交媒体向全国推广阿切尔山的壮观景色，促进了当地的旅游业。嵌入观景台的互动地图增强了游客的体验，向观众突出了该地区的主要地标。公共无障碍设施和可持续发展也是设计的关键部分，以确保该空间能够提供壮观的、可供残疾人使用的景观，同时对自然环境的影响最小。这一点是通过沿着阿切尔山现有的自然轮廓的平坦小路和砂岩挡土墙来实现的，并且不需要移除任何当地的植物。

Offering sweeping panoramic views of the city and the picturesque Fitzroy River, the 200- seat open-air amphitheater and elevated grassed stage has enabled the space to provide significant public and cultural benefits to the local community, having played host to weddings, public Pilates classes and local concerts. The improved visual amenity of the space has also drawn hundreds of tourists to capture and inadvertently promote Mt Archer’s spectacular view to the nation via social media, bolstering local tourism. The visitor experience is enhanced by an interactive map embedded within the viewing deck that highlight the region’s key landmarks to viewers. Public accessibility and sustainability were also crucial components of the design in order to ensure the space would provide spectacular, disability-accessible views with minimal impact on the natural environment. This was achieved with sweeping pathways and sandstone retaining walls that follow Mt Archer’s existing natural contours and negated the need for any local flora to be removed.

同样的设计理念也适用于高架木栈道，它将是一个适合轮椅的、不引人注目的结构，使游客能够沉浸在自然和周围的景色中。我们没有将阿切尔山的极端斜坡夷为平地，而是尊重现有的地形，木板路只在需要的时候轻轻地触及斜坡。木板路的蛇形弧度在现有的树木中穿梭，这是对位于阿切尔山山脚下的强大的蒙达加拉或彩虹蛇（菲茨罗伊河）的致敬。栈道的每一段都提供了不同的体验，不同的景观欣赏，或不同的故事。各种瞭望台和非正式的聚会空间提供了机会，当地人和游客可以探索、学习并与大自然联系，分享当地的许多故事。所有的材料都是精心挑选的，以尽量减少火灾的风险，增加可持续性和寿命。地基采用混凝土，栏杆和结构采用镀锌钢，木板路和扶手采用本地铁皮木。为了向土地的传统监护人致敬，当地本土的Darumbal艺术被轻轻地编织到栏杆的一部分，边缘是铝和不锈钢。

The same design philosophy was applied to the elevated boardwalk in that it was to be a wheelchair-friendly, non-obtrusive structure that allows visitors to immerse themselves in nature and the views that surround. Rather than levelling out Mt Archer’s extreme slopes, the existing terrain was respected, and the boardwalk only gently touches the slope when needed. The boardwalk’s snake-like curvature weaves itself through the existing trees, which is a nod to the mighty Mundagara or Rainbow Serpent (Fitzroy River) that lies at Mount Archer’s foothills. Every section of the boardwalk offers a different experience, a different view to appreciate, or a different story to be told. Various lookouts and informal gathering spaces provide opportunities where locals and tourists can explore, learn and connect with nature and share the many stories of the local region. All materials were also carefully selected to minimise the risk of fire and to increase sustainability and longevity. Concrete was used for the footings, galvanized steel for the balustrades and structure and native ironbark timber for the boardwalk and handrails. To honor the traditional custodians of the land, local indigenous Darumbal art are gently weaved into parts of the balustrading, edged on aluminium and stainless steel.

为了补充圆形剧场和木栈道，还安装了一个以游戏为基础的公园，包括一系列自然的、本土灵感的游戏设备和丰富的户外座椅，使弗雷泽公园成为一个真正的家庭友好目的地。一个相互连接的混凝土人行道网络为残疾人提供了通往公园所有功能的方便，包括一个新的、可持续的建筑、欢迎区和停车场设施。

To compliment the amphitheater and boardwalk, a play-based park featuring a range of natural, indigenous inspired play equipment and abundant outdoor seating were also installed, making Fraser Park a true family-friendly destination. A network of inter- connecting concrete walkways provides easy, disability-accessible access to all features of the park including a new, sustainable amenities block, welcome area, and car park facilities.
