Designed by Buchan with Mather Architecture, Scotts Crossing has transformed a vehicle-dominated roadway in Canberra’s CBD into a vibrant, pedestrian-focused public realm, prioritising social connection and community engagement.

Inspired by the historic Molonglo River, the design features sweeping ETFE canopies, lush landscaping, and enhanced building facades that frame the revitalised area.

With traffic diverted underground, the space is now a thriving, year-round destination, strengthening the connection between Braddon and the CBD.

“Scotts Crossing has transformed our business and the surrounding shopping centre, creating a vibrant pedestrian street that seamlessly integrates retail, hospitality, and community spaces. The project reimagines the customer experience, enhancing foot traffic and fostering a dynamic environment day and night where people can gather, shop, and dine.” – Catherine Carmody, Investment Manager, QIC
