From more than 50 entries, the jury recognized outstanding achievements in bourgeois, infrastructure, health, education, gardens and scope.
The chairman of the jury of Aila Queensland, David, praised Hatherly the high standard and social effects of this year and explained: “This year's entries reflect a discipline that leads with clarity, creativity and passion. We have seen a strong commitment to the design of the climate, country and community – not only the quality of our public spaces, but also their importance, justice and stress.”
He added: “The landscape architecture plays a decisive role in the connection between politics, infrastructure and biological diversity, how people are connected and experienced with their daily environment. The management of the profession helps to conduct our cities, cities and regions of integrative, integrative, sustainable futures.”
The Archerfield Wetlands Land Management Project, part of the Oxley Creek Transformation of the Brisbane Sustainability Agency (BSA), was an outstanding passage that converted a 150 hectare out into a vital recreation and ecological asset.
The deserved project:
- Awarding of Excellency for Land Management (BSA)
- Awarding of excellence for parks and open spaces (Urbis for BSA)
- Landscape architecture price for scope
The jury described Archerfield Feuchtdien as a “brave and visionary park for future generations” and praised it for “seamlessly integrating natural -based games, ecological restoration and deep traditional commitment of the owner”.
The future South Bank Master Plan from Urbis and the South Bank Corporation has been awarded the best urban design of Queensland.
The jury called it “redefined the role of the district in Brisbane and added:” More than one vision, it is a robust urban framework that repositions the Südbank as a connected and resilient bourgeois parking base. “
The project also received a landscape architecture award for parks and open space, while the strategy of South Bank (McGregor Coxall, Baam & South Bank Corporation) was also recognized.
The Amphitheater of the University of Queensland of Hassell won the award for excellence in the health and educational landscape category.
The jury described it as a “versatile and inviting outer space” and praised the project and explained: “This elegant and thoughtful intervention reacts to the shift in postpandemic behavioral students outdoors outdoors back into the outdoor and the revival of the life of the campus by a landscape that is culturally aware, ecologically attracted and beautifully resolved.”
Wallumburn on Lake Cooroibah, designed by Coco-Landscape Architecture, was the only garden that received a landscape architecture award.
The jury emphasized its approach and explained: “The garden promotes biological diversity, food production and resistance to the climate, landscape and seasonal cycles.
“It offers a convincing model for a sustainable life in rural life – the fusion of beauty, functionality and environmental responsibility in a way that is both grounded and inspiring.”
The Red Note Courtyard at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University (TCL Taylor Cullity Lethleean) was the only small project that received a landscape architecture award.
The jury described it as “a flexible, culturally stressed stage for music, collecting and performance”.
BUNDABERGS Washpool Creek Catchment Master Plan (Tract for Bundaberg Regional Council) received four awards, including an award for excellent services for landscape planning and a regional Achievement Award.
The project was praised to set a 30-year vision for the catchment area: “Exemplary landscape and urban designer results that are underpinned by technical rainwater technology”.
The Logan Gold Coast Fastere railway landscape integration strategy (archipelago) also received a regional Achievement Award in which the work was annoyed by a 20 km corridor and nine train stations from Kuraby to Eberleigh.
The entire Queensland Award of Excellence, the Landscape Architecture Award and the Regional Architecture Award winner will now compete in the National Landscape Architecture Awards in Hobart/Nipaluna in October.
The landscape architecture shapes the way in which Queenslanders live, work and combine and bring nature into the heart of everyday life and transform spaces into places of the assembly and belonging.
Apart from the fact that the local economy stimulates and created jobs, well -designed landscapes cool cities, restore ecosystems and the care of the country.
The Aila Queensland Awards 2025 celebrate the projects and the practitioners find how we live with landscape and each other.
