The Sydney Water team at MGP have been busy working on several community projects, including Civic Park in Bankstown, Perry Park in Alexandria and the GreenWay for Inner West Council.

The GreenWay is an environmental and active travel (non-motorised) corridor linking the Cooks River at Earlwood with the Parramatta River at Iron Cove. Featuring bike paths, footpaths, cultural and historical sites, cafes, bush care sites and a range of parks, playgrounds and sporting facilities. MGP are currently involved with the design of Sydney Water infrastructure and approval process, to ensure the new corridor building works have no impact on existing Sydney Water infrastructure and improve Sydney Water services to new and existing facilities on the corridor.

The Archibald Fountain in Hyde Park can be found at the intersection of the main avenues crossing the park. The fountain, by French sculptor Francois Sicard, commemorates the association between Australia and France in World War 1. It draws its themes from Greek antiquity and is an important example in Sydney of 1920-30’s Art Deco.

The fountain is approximately 18 metres in diameter and is in the shape of a hexagon. The mythical figures and animals sit amongst the fountain spray and jets creating a stunning water sculpture in Hyde Park.

Corrosion of the existing pipe work, along with old pumps and filters meant that the fountain not only required extensive repair work but also an upgrade to meet safety standards. MGP and Water Features Australia were engaged to complete the work. A new pump, water quality control, pipes and filters were designed by MGP and installed by Water Features Australia.
