Invercargill Streetscape

The Invercargill Central development is the revitalisation project of the Invercargill CBD. As regional New Zealand suffered from COVID-19, Invercargill Central has become a catalyst for growth, revitalising the region after the challenging impacts of the pandemic. Please note that this case study focuses on the outdoor streetscape element of the project.

Challenges

• The Invercargill Central development revitalizes the CBD. This streetscape upgrade, designed by Isthmus Landscape Architects, reimagines Esk and Don Streets into accessible, vibrant public spaces. A key challenge was delivering custom poles and luminaires, ensuring they met aesthetic and technical standards.

Solutions

• The solution emphasised safety, vibrancy, and ease of movement. Low-glare luminaires from ewo and Lumenpulse were used to provide high visibility without causing discomfort. RGB colour-changing lights, controlled by Casambi, added a playful and dynamic element to the streetscape.

Outcomes

• The lighting scheme enhances the central street’s personality and aesthetic appeal, contributing to the safety and vibrancy of Invercargill’s CBD.
