Snug Cove Maritime Precinct

CM+ has been engaged to conduct initial design for maritime precinct in Snug Cove, Eden.

The maritime precinct will help Snug Cove develop and grow its existing marine related industries and enhance its recent evolution as a cruise ship tourist destination. This precinct will help grow Eden as tourism centre, increase functionality of the harbour and strengthen Eden’s local economy.

Taking into account the Snug Cove rich history, CM+ has provided urban design masterplan to ensure the public domain will be suitable for the increase in tourism activities.

The design for the Maritime Precinct considers siting, implements biophilic principles in respect of the adjacent enscarpment native bushland, sea rock, sea, distant mountain and the adjoining beach. It is elevated above the ground to implement the concept of “touch the earth lightly” to minimise hazards and impact to the existing.

Heritage and cultural design opportunities, including future collaboration with local Aboriginal community has also been noted.
