A project of such size and scope attracts controversy like seagulls to hot chips. With such a tremendous number of cooks stirring the pot on all sides – from government to the private sector, the general public and more – how did Fed Square ever even get off the ground?
In this episode, we uncover how architects Donald Bates and Peter Davidson deftly maneuverered through a feeding frenzy of stakeholders to create a space as innovative as it is ingenious.
With thanks to interviewees for this episode:
- Donald Bates (Fed Square Co-architect with Peter Davidson)
- Paul Carter (Creator of Nearamnew)
- Jefa Greenaway (Architect of Koorie Heritage Trust)
- Dr James Lesh (Urban Historian, University of Melbourne)
- Colin McEvoy (Facilities Manager, Fed Square)
