Our Projects

The Living Pavilion was envisioned as a recyclable, biodegradable, edible and biodiverse event space that celebrates Indigenous knowledge systems, ecological science and sustainable design through participatory arts practice.

RESULTS:

• Run as part of University of Melbourne’s RAP, we recreated a lost landscape by temporarily installing 40,000 indigenous plants on Wurundjeri Country at the University’s Parkville campus.
• Plants were chosen to showcase the unique ecologies of the Kulin Nations.
• The plants used in the installation were subsequently installed on the Thompsons Road upgrade, a Major Roads Projects Victoria initiative.
• The Living Pavilion has been nominated for an AILA VIC Award 2020.

We’ve recently completed a Yarning Circle for the Bupup Wilam Aboriginal Child and Family Centre, creating a new space for children at the centre and the broader community to learn from Traditional Owners, who can pass on cultural practices and values to future generations in the space.

Ecodynamics were engaged by Fulton Hogan to re-establish sections of Rainforest, Warm Temperate Forest, Riverbank and Wet Forest vegetation communities on the 11.6km Foxground and Berry Bypass. Revegetation required the establishment of native Grasses, Shrubs and Trees with specific mixes for different parts of the site.

RESULTS:

• Ecodynamics worked closely with land care groups who supplied locally collected seed that was incorporated into the Hydromulch mixes, including some rare rainforest species.
• Our Hydromulching solution provided an immediate, positive environmental and aesthetic impact, preventing erosion and runoff from entering waterways.
• The establishment of vegetation on this project within 2 years has exceeded expectations.

Ecodynamics source and install more than 800m2 of soil for what will be one of the city’s largest open spaces

RESULTS

• Ecodynamics coordinated with onsite teams to determine best installation methods
• soil was slung, dumped or blown into place to best suit each application (garden beds, open spaces, sloping terrain)
• resulting landscape covers 20% of the site footprint, with the new mixed-use precinct available for use by the general public
