AILA AWARDS NAME VICTORIA’S BEST LANDSCAPES
10 Jun 2025
A regional mall, residential garden, school yard and train station were all among the landscape designs honoured at this year’s Australian Institute of Landscape Architects’ (AILA) Victorian Awards. The awards were celebrated at a ceremony held at Melbourne’s Plaza Ballroom on Thursday 5 June. From a field of 70 entries, the judges selected 35 winners across 16 categories.
AILA Victoria Jury Chair Bridget Keane says the diversity of this year’s entries showcase the far-reaching power of landscape architecture. “From projects that bring new life into city centres to those that regenerate huge swathes of degraded landscapes, this year’s winning work showcases the incredible contribution landscape architecture makes to our communities, culture, environment and economy”.
