THE FOUNDATIONS, PORTLAND, NSW

Project Type: Place Activation Strategy and Delivery

Year: 2021-Present

Client: Ecorr

Reactivate has been engaged by The Foundations Portland (owned by Ecorr) to support its green transition from former company cement town, to an art, science, historic and cultural destination. As the ‘Town that Built Sydney’ Portland’s rich history and tight knit local community are a highly valued asset in which all future activations are to be built on. Reactivate prepared a Place Activation Plan that is focused on expanding the precinct’s partners and operators to create more activities to attract visitors and locals. A focus on reactivating the local community economically, socially and culturally is a focus, past the physical environmental rehabilitation to the industrial site which has already been completed. Reactivate is working closely with local stakeholders and partners to deliver short term temporary activations in addition to mapping out a sustainable operating model for the precinct.
