Grampians Peaks Trail Stage 2 also received a prestigious Australian Good Design 'Best in Class' accolade in the Place Design category. ⁠ ⁠ Jury citation: “The Grampians Peaks Trail has revolutionised the experience of our National Parks and enhanced the community's connection to the spectacular bushlands. It makes a gentle and respectful mark on the Gariwerd Aboriginal cultural landscape, with a series of considered and interconnecting elements that thread together to encourage people to dwell and appreciate being on Country. The additions are both intimate and impressive, cleverly arranged to balance group and individual use. Grampians Peaks demonstrates a timely expectation of a well-designed public amenity within our National Parks and plays a critical role in demonstrating the care needed for the environment through its gentle and considered response. The trail project successfully boosted public awareness for sustainability by touching the earth lightly and deepening the connection to Country.” ⁠ The Grampians Peaks Trail, Stage 2 by Noxon Giffen⁠ with McGregor Coxall⁠ ⁠ Architect: @noxongiffen⁠ Design Director: Justin Noxon⁠ Project Architect: Andrew Jenner⁠ Project Team: Darren Giffen, Stephanie Morgia, Olivia Peel, Sophie Chomard.⁠ ⁠ Client: @parksvic⁠ Landscape Architect: @mcgregorcoxall⁠ Engineer: @opsengineers⁠ Project Manager: @weareontoit⁠ Main Contractor: @linctgroup⁠ Photographer: ⁠ @adam.gibson.photo ⁠ The Grampians National Park (Gariwerd) extends over the Traditional Lands of the Jadawadjali and Djab Wurrung peoples.
