The flow of human movement around the site has been broken into three categories. Road Traffic (Orange), Water Traffic (Blue) and Pedestrian Traffic (Green). From the image below, it is possible to see that there is a heavy amount of Road traffic surrounding the area. However, this does not directly affect the HSW. The separation due to the cliff and the bridge help create a desolate feel to the site. The only apparent traffic in the site comes from the cyclists, joggers and other pedestrian movement. It is important to note that there is quite a bit of road noise from the bridge above. However, this diminishes as you move towards the New Farm end of the site.
The second image portrays the access points for these three forms of movement. It is clear that the easiest access is from foot. In terms of private road transport, it is very difficult to access the site and parking is extremely limited. The distance between Central of Brunswick St Station is atleast a 1km walk. It is also interesting to note that there is no ferry stop between dockside and Riverside. Water access may be one of the best ways to get to the site. Therefore I will consider including in a Ferry stop in my design.
