The Nature and Science Precinct is the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria’s bold vision for the next major development of its Melbourne Gardens and Melbourne Observatory precinct. It will join the city’s Arts and Culture and Sports and Entertainment precincts as the third international tourist destination beside the Yarra River.

The Expression of Interests seeks to short-list architects to assist the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria with the planning and design of built elements within the Nature and Science Precinct including a new Herbarium and other visitor-focused structures.
