MWA were the lead consultant in this complex public transport project to remodel the Katoomba Civic Centre and its associated courtyards. An urban strategy to open up and reconnect the building to a new network of public spaces set the design framework. Selective building elements were removed, others remade and the courtyards rebuilt. The remodeled Katoomba Street address creates a permeable and public entry, meshing with Civic Centre firmly into the street.
