The Griffins’ formally adopted Plan for Canberra set the foundations for a city within a natural setting, structured and defined by its surrounding landforms and made up of grand streets and boulevards, exceptional architecture and refined urban spaces.

Constitution Avenue is a central element of this plan and a key piece in the successful implementation of The Griffin Legacy. Designed by Jane Irwin Landscape Architects, the redevelopment of the Avenue is set to become an elegant and vibrant mixed-use grand boulevard, linking London Circuit to Russell, increasing the vitality of the Central National Area, and completing the National Triangle.

Environmental sustainability is now at the forefront of the Griffin’s vision for Canberra, and as such, the ACT Government, with the help of Integral Lighting, is currently upgrading Canberra’s lighting network to LED technology. LED capabilities will be showcased during this tour, highlighting the use of WE-EF luminaires in the redevelopment of the prominent Constitution Avenue and the illumination of the iconic Australian flag on City Hill. The tour will conclude at the beautifully illuminated #BackyardExperiment, a pop up park by landscape architecture firm, Context, which has transformed Garema Place for the duration of the Festival.

Tour hosts: Jane Irwin, Jane Irwin Landscape Architecture and Alex Skaines, Integral Lighting (WE-EF Sales Partner in ACT).
