The fresh design prepared by the design team for Grattan Gardens is based on the concept of “bringing back the gardens” into Greville Street – a theme developed during the masterplan phase.

The park redesign is based on a reinterpretation of the original late 19th- early 20th Century “gardenesque” layout of the gardens, while providing spaces for social interaction and informal seating for the Prahran neighbourhood, serving contemporary needs and uses. Botanical interest and diversity is central to the design ideas presented, following the nineteenth century and early 20th Century ambition of curating a plant collection for the park that adds to a sense of public richness.

The current “symmetrical” order of a 7m wide path dividing 2 raised grass lawns and with only 3 tree species types has eroded the exuberance of the original garden and planting palette. There is potential “delight” in diverse plantings which we believe are essential to any park experience.

The two existing Phoenix palms are not part of the original 19th century layout of the gardens. They have probably already been transplanted once before, possibly as part of the current design. One Palm was originally closer to Greville Street as seen in the photo below. The current symmetrical design, framing an empty view, is akin to a domestic arrangement at a private house development or suburban estate entry and does diminish and dominate the visual perception of the park today.

Functional issues: The new design aims to provide equity of access up onto a single grass terrace (this is not currently provided in this area of the park). This requires a ramped path edging the west side of the park. The alignment of this path requires cutting into and retaining the existing grades at its north and south ends. Such a path cannot be located on the east side due to existing electrical switching and pit infrastructure on the NE corner. (It is undesirable to land a ramped path in that area).

The existing NW palm is right against the alignment of the proposed ramped path edge wall and requires relocation. Building a retaining wall against its swollen trunk base (bole) is not ideal due to the scale of the current swelling and trunk, resulting in uncomfortable visual proximity (it will feel too close). The palm requires a more generous space within a larger lawn area - hence the current proposal to relocate to the SE area of the terrace. The edge to this pathway will be planted with new Washingtonia robusta or Livistona chinensis palms and suitable understorey.

While we understand that Phoenix palms are very robust, a successful, diverse new planting for this edge will be difficult to achieve horticulturally / aesthetically around the bole of the existing palm and in elevation along the terrace edge and within the 2m cross section of the proposed garden. It will feel ‘thin’ and too close to the wall system.

The current DD design drawings show planning that is not purely symmetrical. (Circular Planter sizes, forecourt tree locations, catenary, non- ovoid grass shaping etc.) Retaining the symmetry of the existing palm locations diminishes the potential of the new design and detracts from the long term potential of new plantings.

The proposed locations of the two Palms, one retained and one relocated establishes a larger plant scale on the east side of the grass terrace with bold palm frond textures set against fine peppercorn foliage. The placement allows the largest area of free grass space. The two palm specimens will become a linked pair of strong vertical markers leading the eye and walkers off the forecourt, a kind of large scale pair of sentinels, inviting pedestrians up to the terrace and the park beyond.

Transplanting of existing Phoenix canariensis within DD Grattan Gardens design.

The Palm (in question) on left of picture is therefore proposed to be relocated on the east side of park against the existing line of peppercorns (right). The space between the existing White Cedar trees and the Palm is minimal to achieve a compliant path/ ramp.

Future Location of Transplanted palms against existing Peppercorns.

This is an important design move, and will take away the sense of the palms feeling like symmetrical ‘goal posts’ – a dull arrangement that commands too much attention, framing as it does and empty view. Relocating the palm to a side view, will totally transform the sense of the park for users, helping to invite a walk around rather than presenting the view of empty space. The palms will present in side view, as a pair, deepening the sense of perspective and maximising the sense of length and extension of the green space. This also allows fresh plantings on the west side, and a balanced asymmetry in the best of the gardenesque tradition.

We feel this is a very important design issue, and is based on some central design principles for the revised park design. Retaining the palm in its current location is definitely not recommended, and will diminish and stultify the fresh design if it is left as is.
