The success of this project comes from the team’s ability to create a seamless transition around the station’s entrance by deftly stiching into the adjoining public spaces – the urban streetscape\, the biodiverse parklands and the constructed sandstone cove. Cultural and historic stories are layered thoughtfully within the public ream\, allowing the stories of this place to be appreciated. While primarily a place for movement\, the public domain also creates a generous area for passive enjoyment of Nawi Cove. \nOnce registered\, your webinar link for this event will be located in the registration confirmation email from AILA.  URL:https://greenlifeindustryqld.org.au/event/project-spotlight-barangaroo-station-park-webinar/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20260328T060000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Brisbane:20260328T120000 DTSTAMP:20260116T043029Z CREATED:20260116T043029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T043029Z UID:13079-1774677600-1774699200@greenlifeindustryqld.org.au SUMMARY:Plantpalooza DESCRIPTION:The Plantapalooza plant festival\, our celebration of Autumn and all things plants\, returns to the Saturday Fresh Market on Saturday\, 28 March 2026.\nLocated at our undercover venue at 385 Sherwood Road\, Rocklea\, Plantapalooza will feature a massive range of indoor and outdoor plants\, flowers and succulents\, as well as the 100 regular stalls the Saturday Fresh Market offers every week. \nWith savvy stallholders showing off their tricks of the trade\, expert horticulturists sharing their green-thumb wisdom\, and plenty to keep the little ones entertained\, Plantapalooza is your all-in-one garden glow-up\, minus the hefty price tag. \nKick off your weekend the right way wander through aisles bursting with lush plants\, farm-fresh produce\, deli delights\, meats\, cheeses\, baked treats\, and vibrant blooms.
