Box Hill Urban Design Competition 2020

In 2020 University students were given the opportunity to apply the lessons learnt from the OFC seminar series in an exciting interdisciplinary design competition. OFC continues its commitment to bringing students, industry practitioners and communities together to engage in the new age of sustainable urban development.

Intensive, yet highly rewarding…developing a truly interdisciplinary approach towards a sustainability challenge

— Ian Lim, OFC 2020


Project site

Students designed best practice solutions to the unique sustainability challenges in the Box Hill Metropolitan Activity Centre (BHMAC). Located in the City of Whitehorse approximately 14 km to the east of Melbourne’s CBD.  The Wurundjeri– Balluk Tribe are the traditional custodians of the land on which BHMAC is located.
