Truth and Reconciliation Park

The primary landscape element of the Macquarie Point Vision is the Truth and Reconciliation Park. This involves rehabilitation of contaminated industrial ground into a natural landscape reminiscent of the pre-colonial shoreline.

Native vegetation such as She-Oaks, Kangaroo Paw and Correa will provide shade, native grasslands become spaces for recreation, while sandstone outcrops create meeting spots and gathering points.

The Truth and Reconciliation Park could be activated by the Indigenous Cultural and Heritage Centre, and landscaped spaces around the Centre will accommodate community educational and cultural activities.

The park connects the city and waterfront to the Queens Domain and creates an opportunity for level access to the Cenotaph.

The allocation of meaningful space for the Truth and Reconciliation Park is a step toward the acknowledgement of our state’s history and recognition of the importance of indigenous people and culture as part of a future Tasmania.
