Newington Armory + Blaxland Common Master Plan
Newington Armory is a former armaments depot - a precious historic and ecological remnant fronting the Parramatta River. The task of the master plan was to synthesize the many heritage, ecological and management interests, with a vision for how this previously secure off-limits place, could now be opened. Our master plan positioned Newington Armory and the adjacent Blaxland Common - an under-utilised open area - as tandem parks, with Blaxland developed for intensive recreational use, providing the infrastructure necessary to support both it and the Armory. This master plan was adopted by SOPA.
