NSW AILA WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Jury Chair Kate Luckraft says this year’s winners indicate a palpable shift towards working together to increase biodiversity and restoring the health of Country.

“Entries this year demonstrate the power of harnessing community involvement to deliver enormous social and environmental benefits, with process easily replicated providing an exemplar for others to follow,” Kate says.

“One of the highlights in this year’s awards were some very low-budget community projects that demonstrate how enormous benefit can be achieved with careful use of resources and generous inputs of donated time and labour. From this year’s deep pool of submissions, selected award winners represent the diversity of project types the landscape architecture profession influences through design thinking, advocacy, research, leadership, collaborations with industry and built outcomes and their ongoing care.”

All project winners at the State Awards level proceed to the National Landscape Architecture Awards held later this year.
