Working in close partnership with Council’s steering group as well as community consultation, masterplanning for the Murrumburrah town centre, including the historic sculpture precinct has been carried out.
The sculptures for the precinct include ‘Bill the Bastard,’ the famous war horse sculpted by Carl Valerius, and Major General Kenneth Mackay sculpted by Louis Laumen, who raised the first Australian light horse.
The enhancement of park amenity to encourage passing traffic to stop, recreate and visit the shops has been an important principle in the design. Also, the importance of the landscape setting in how these spaces function on Anzac Day and other important commemorative and community events.
The project involves full masterplan with cost estimates and staging program, with detailed design and tender documentation for the Light Horse Memorial.
