Nauru Government Precinct & Waterfront Development

Nauru, Queensland, Australia

The Pacific island nation of Nauru has planned a major upgrade of their port facility, as part of this redevelopment project LA3 APLA prepared foreshore master plan options stretching from the harbour to the historic and still operating cantilevers structures for phosphate loading. The foreshore development creates a significant civic space for events including an amphitheatre, waterfront stage and market place locations. Recreational facilities include a harbourside ocean swimming pool. Historic buildings from the British Phosphate Company era are incorporated into the plan. A new memorial celebrating the return of Nauru survivors from Chuuk Lagoon after the Japanese occupation in the Second World War is planned as a first stage of the development.
