CELEBRATING EXPERIENCES AT UNDERPARK
CLOSING MARCH 26
After an unforgettable year, it’s time to say goodbye to Underpark. With summer ending, head down to the court to make the most of the sunshine and your last chance to experience Underpark before it closes soon.
Underpark has inspired many stories and events. We have enjoyed witnessing the explosion of activity and feeling the good vibes created by the community of Southbank, and beyond.
As developers who believe placemaking has a vital role in creating and enhancing great neighbourhoods, we created Underpark to open a broader conversation about the future of the Kings Way Undercroft, and how the space can best serve the surrounding community of the future.
Make sure to add your name to the hundreds of survey submissions we’ve received. We are interested in your opinion on what the City of Melbourne could incorporate to a permanent urban park in Southbank.

Around the world, areas under and around neglected infrastructure have been identified, repurposed and activated. The City of Melbourne has identified a master plan for City Road Southbank and the surrounding area, including the Kings Way undercroft, an area that makes up around 5,000m2.
Time & Place x Hickory embraced the City of Melbourne’s vision and created Underpark on their development site at 90 Queensbridge Street.
Even though good things must come to an end, we still encourage you to support Underpark by having your say.

Time & Place x Hickory, are collaborating to bring to Melbourne ‘The Queensbridge Building’. An independent apartment-hotel development designed by Elenberg Fraser architects and interior designers Flack Studio.
The Queensbridge Neighbourhood in Southbank acts as a nexus between the Melbourne CBD, and The Arts Precinct.
Time & Place x Hickory are working with the Melbourne City Council to further enhance the Queensbridge Neighbourhood by regenerating the Kings Way Undercroft. The vision is to turn this underutilised space into an urban park to drive community spirit through sport, food and art.
We encourage you to support Underpark by having your say.

Reko Rennie Rennie is an interdisciplinary artist who explores his Aboriginal identity through contemporary mediums including spray paint, prints, sculpture and installation. Rennie’s artistic practice is intelligent and innovative, drawing upon both the sphere of street art as well as the designs and symbols of the Kamilaroi people. Rennie’s works provokes discussion of Indigenous culture and identity in contemporary urban environments and creates new futures for the vernacular of contemporary Indigenous art.

Reko Rennie's work for Underpark is an extension of his Visible Invisible series which inverts the idea of camouflage. Traditionally, camouflage conceals or disguises animals or objects by using a combination of materials and colouration to optically confuse the observer. Rennie's use of camouflage amplifies, rather than conceals, his identity. His use of luminous colours commands our attention and asserts his cultural presence in contemporary Australian Art.
