2015 LV INDUSTRY AWARD WINNERS
21 Oct 2015
In an exciting twist, the honour of the 2015 Landscaping Victoria Industry Awards ‘Landscape of the Year’ has gone to two lucky winners.
In an exciting twist, the 2015 Landscaping Victoria Industry Awards held at ZINC at Fed Square on 17 October 2015 ended with the prestigious ‘Landscape of the Year’ being awarded jointly to Hamilton Landscapes and Australian Native Landscape Constructions.
Australian Native Landscape Constructions continue to impress the judges, now chalking up four top prizes in the last 5 years. Their ‘Geology Garden’ at Monash University’s Clayton campus took out top honour in the ‘Commercial Landscape Construction over $500k’ category as well as receiving Highly Commended in the ‘Hard Structures in the Landscape’ category.
Taking out the joint win for ‘Landscape of the Year’ for his Beaumaris project was the icing on the cake for Paul Hamilton, who in his acceptance speech acknowledged the stunning design by Steve Taylor of COS Design that he was engaged to build. Earlier in the evening, the meticulously constructed Beaumaris project scooped the pool across a number of categories including ‘Hard Structures in the Landscape’ and ‘Residential Construction over $300K’ for Hamilton Landscapes as well as being recognised as the best entry in the ‘Landscape Design over 200m2’ for designer COS Design.
A new category for 2015 was the ‘People’s Choice’ award which allowed the public to vote on a selection of entries from the design and construction categories. In a close finish, the winner was announced as Inge Jabara Landscapes for their South Yarra project.
