Kalgoorlie City Centre
ASPECT Studios collaborated with the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to design and deliver a new civic centre that will shape its long-term development and revitalise the city centre.
The project has been designed as a series of interconnected public realm spaces that support the daily rituals of the community through fostering social interaction, play, outdoor dining and entertainment opportunities. The precinct has been designed to activate retail frontages and laneways, support special events and be a destination in its own right.
