The Nyagaroon Community Model is a hands-on tool created to foster community engagement and encourage dialogue. This scale model of the Nyagaroon site has been deliberately designed to be lightweight, sketch-like, and interactive, inviting community members to partake in a collaborative exploration of the area. Serving as a tangible medium for discussion and design, it brings the potential of the site to life in a tangible, engaging manner.


Participants in community events are welcomed to interact with the model, enabling a tactile form of dialogue that complements verbal discussion. This open engagement approach encourages community members to voice their ideas and contribute to the design process in a direct and tangible way. The Nyagaroon Community Model is not only a representation of the site; it's an open canvas that encourages participatory planning and fosters a collective vision for the future of Nyagaroon.
