A surfer's paradise: six-foot-high waves in Melbourne’s Harbour
Damian Rogers Architecture, in partnership with Arup, has unveiled a concept of a beach and surf park for Melbourne’s Central Pier, Australia.
The development would see a floating wave pool, filled with filtered water from Victoria Harbour, as well as a new sandy beach front.
Offering surfers a chance to catch waves between 1-1.8m (3-6 ft), the heated wave pool would be one of several attractions featured in this new development. Planned to cover 16,000sq m (172,222sq ft), swimming, kayaking and winter beach soccer will also be offered onsite. A grassy bank and a pavilion will also provide space for retail and restaurant facilities.
Arup Urban and Transport Planner Phil Carter said: “This could enhance the Docklands by giving the public a space they will want to use and that will also attract events and businesses.”
The development, if approved by Melbourne City Council and Places Victoria, could cost around AU$8m (US$6.45m, €5.4m, £4.2m) and will be privately funded by developers.
