AILA AWARDS QLD'S BEST LANDSCAPES
18 Jun 2025
The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Queensland Awards celebrated and recognised the best landscaping projects from all over the state. From a field of over 50 entries, the jury honoured outstanding designs across a broad range of categories spanning civic, infrastructure, health and education landscapes through to gardens and play spaces.
AILA Queensland Jury Chair David Hatherly praised the calibre of the entrants’ work and the growing impact of the landscape architecture profession: “This year’s entries reflect a discipline leading with clarity, creativity and passion. We saw a strong commitment to designing with climate, Country and community — advancing not only the quality of our public spaces, but also their meaning, equity and resilience.” He added that landscape architects are increasingly at the forefront of shaping Queensland’s future. “Landscape architecture is playing a critical role in connecting policy, infrastructure and biodiversity with how people connect with and experience their everyday environments. The profession’s leadership is helping guide our cities, towns and regions towards more inclusive, sustainable futures.”
All winners of an AILA Queensland Award of Excellence, Landscape Architecture Award or Regional Architecture Award will now proceed to the National Landscape Architecture Awards, to be announced in October in Hobart.
