AILDM LANDSCAPE DESIGN AWARDS 2009

The Australian Institute of Landscape Designers and Managers (AILDM) held its fifth annual Landscape Design Awards Dinner on August 22, at the Harbourview Hotel in North Sydney.

The Landscape Design Awards recognise design innovation and professionalism among AILDM members, and serve to celebrate the high calibre of design being produced by members across Australia.

A record number of entries were submitted this year, and all were of an exceptional standard. The judges Stuart Pittendrigh and Jennifer Stackhouse had a difficult time selecting a winner for each of the eight categories.

AILDM’s patron, and significant contributor to landscape architecture in Australia, Allan Correy was in attendance, as was AILDM President Arthur Lathouris.

Outdoor Design Source is proud to be the official Media Partner for AILDM, and sponsor of the Pro Bono Landscape Award.

A big congratulations goes out to all the winners. And a big thank you goes out to all the AILDM members who entered.
