IBE implemented the LENSES framework and facilitated a planning Charrette for the revitalization of the Seacombe West Eco-Community.
Seacombe West is a planned Eco-Community dedicated to regenerative, sustainable development on Australia’s largest inland waterway. The revitalized property will be separated into thirds, allowing each to thrive individually and together as a system. The land owner was inspired to revive the area after witnessing years of degradation from salinization and erosion. LENSES was used as a guide for a series of large planning charrettes, involving the development team, local residents, University of Melbourne faculty and students, government officials, indigenous populations, and leaders in regenerative design and development throughout Australia.
