Discovery School and Community Precinct: A New Focus
If you can imagine cool shady streets full of people and life; buildings whose edges
provide deep shade to nurture lively interaction and exchange; a place where people
and knowledge based businesses thrive in a setting unique to the Dry Tropics, then
you understand Discovery Rise.
Discovery Rise will be an energetic community of exchange with
a world-leading tropical university at its heart. Through great
design there will be a complete transformation of this dispersed
campus into a thriving community of living and learning.
Designed for Townsville Discovery Rise will be a unique
community designed for our dry tropical climate and lifestyle;
with shady places to walk and to meet, and beautiful low energy
housing and buildings.
The key features of Discovery Rise include:
-- A compact town centre within a 5 minute walk of both
The Townsville Hospital and the Eddie Mabo library.
The first building is complete providing fresh food, cafe,
pharmacy, bottle shop and medical clinics. Other housing,
accommodation and research projects are in the pipeline.
Discovery Village: A Community of Choice
Discovery Rise Living: Cool and Green Homes
Developing Discovery Rise: Our Design Ethos
-- Bus services to the CBD, including a future high-frequency
rapid bus service into the heart of the site.
-- Community access to existing facilities such as the, library,
child care, health and sports facilities. A primary and high
school are also planned.
-- A sustainable, compact, walkable place; a place which
fosters interaction and exchange.
-- Distinctive low energy homes catering to different price
ranges.
-- A beautiful landscape setting that is retained and supported
through the design.
We invite you to be part of the brilliant future for this thriving Knowledge Community.
“The places that thrive today are those with the highest velocity of ideas
and the highest density of talented people.”

The Clinical
Practice Building
James Cook University’s new Clinical Practice Building is a landmark
project; at 12,000 sq m of floor space it is both the biggest building on
the campus and a flagship project for the new town centre. The building
houses a fresh food market, pharmacy, bottle shop, GP clinic, dental
clinic, physio clinic, radiology and more: all of the medical facilities work
as both commercial and learning facilities.
In a microcosm of what is going to happen at Discovery Rise overall, the
building draws on the synergies of JCU, The Townsville Hospital and the
needs of a new residential community to create a mixed use hub. The
ground floor cafe and entry design also contribute to the creation of a
street level social environment.
The building conceived as a restrained (dry) tropical pavilion with shady
edges and a wide overhanging roof, in a shady setting of street trees,
screens and arbours. The south west and north west facades are veiled
with screens of recycled hardwood, while the important street corner
is marked with perforated metal screen evoking Brain Coral, a friendly
acknowledgement of JCU’s international leadership in tropical medicine
and marine science.

A Community
of Choice
Discovery Village is convenient; only a 5 minute walk to the Eddie
Koiki Mabo Library. It is a place where you can live near but not in the
University. It has parks, walking tracks through the hills, and a mix of
housing types and price points for a range of people.

PARK
Discovery Village is connected to JCU and to nature. The streets and
public spaces are designed for people, with cool homes that provide both
privacy and retreat and street interaction.

The existing wildlife and watershed corridors provide important places
for walking and recreation. To promote safe, environmentally friendly
and attractive environment, the impact of vehicles and garages will be
minimized
The colours, textures and materials of the landscape will be reflected in the
design of all elements. Many dwellings will enjoy views back to the hills
surrounding them, and the green corridors linking to the JCU campus.

Homes
We aim to build sustainable homes designed specifically for Townsville’s
climate, and reduce car dependence. Precincts are laid out so houses can
take advantage of the best aspects and views, and to face streets that
create safe, interactive communities.
Dry Tropical Housing Design Principles
We have provided exemplar housing designs which utilise the following
dry tropical housing principles.
-- Encourage natural ventilation – use of breezeways, louvres, plan
layouts for cross ventilation
-- Small building ‘footprints’ to maximize shady planting and minimize
hot hard surfaces
-- Living spaces facing north
-- Shade for all walls of the dwelling
-- Use of ‘tanks’ of cool air thermally stable air in courtyard spaces

Design Features of Courtyard Apartments
Key features of the To-to two are:
Key features of the “Co-Ho”:
The Courtyard apartments create a low energy, welcoming living
environment with great access to green spaces and the university. They
contain studio, one, two and three bedroom homes.
-- Can be two or three bedroom, suitable for a range of households
-- Living areas orientated north
-- Stepped garden terraces to the north providing a ‘street friendly’
spaces
-- A court with high level roof light/louvres in the centre of the home to
create air-movement as well as natural light
-- Small lot homes which are designed for the climate
-- ‘Shallow’ plan buildings with small footprints, and breezeways to
maximize cross ventilation
-- A cool planted courtyard as a shady retreat and ‘tank’ of cooler air
-- Construction can be staged to suit household size and capital available
-- Smaller building can be a granny / older child flat, or a ‘mortgage saver’
as rented accommodation for students or nurses.
Key design elements are:
-- Low energy design minimizing reliance on air-conditioning
-- Breezes, green outlooks, privacy and community interaction
maximized
-- Semi-private planted courtyards provide the building with a ‘tank’ of
cool air in the summer time
-- Shared garden terraces provide opportunities for community gardens,
gathering spaces, air movement, shaded retreats
-- Private generous verandahs

Developing Discovery Rise:
Our Design Ethos
The places and spaces of Discovery Rise will be cool,
inviting, green and shaded, with tree lined streets, shady
public spaces, and urban verandahs. They will be ‘people
places’ where the opportunity for informal social interaction
is ever at hand.
The villages and hubs of Discovery Rise will all be within an
easy and inviting walk to the heart of the University, and to
shops and amenities.
welcoming, seamlessly connected to the outdoors and the
streets, lanes, courtyards, gardens, parks and squares.
Considered, careful and responsive urban, architectural and
landscape design will play a pivotal role in the making of this
special place
Spaces, landscapes and buildings in Discovery Rise will
create a Tropical Urbanism, with:
The buildings of Discovery Rise will be responsive to the
climate and culture of Townsville - openable, permeable,
A compact and urban built form
A rich tropical landscape that is immediate and ever-present
Walking and cycling as the preferred way of getting around
Lively, inclusive and interactive spaces
Sheltered, shady and cool streets and public spaces
An architecture with cool shady verandahs,
layered edges, deep eaves, screens and loggias
and spaces that are open to the outside
A sustainable architecture and landscape that minimizes
resource and energy use
16
All design work in Discovery Rise is guided by the Discovery Rise Design Guide.
Developing Discovery Rise:
How It Connects
Axes
Academic Core
Density
Hubs Interconnected
Original axes/view lines from Architect
James Birrell’s 1964 Master Plan.
To be retained as the heart.
Create greatest density along ‘key
connectors’ streets, pedestrian
pathways and public spaces.
Create ‘hubs’ of mixed academic
and new uses.
Pedestrian and Cycle Paths
Road Network
Public Space
Public Transport
Create an interconnected network of
paths and bike routes emphasising
linkages into the campus heart
and academic core. These paths
are cool, shaded and green.
James Cook Drive as primary
circulating street, slower speed,
shady street environments for eastwest connecting streets. New street
to link to existing neighbouring
suburban development to the west.
Public spaces are located
along ‘key connectors’, in the
centre of significant hubs.
Fast and direct access to the
CBD and around the campus
by public transport.
