We are beyond thrilled to share that our project has been awarded Gold in the Plantscape – Commercial category and also received the Allen Correy Prize at the 2025 National LDI Awards!
The Allen Correy Prize is one of the most significant honours in Australian landscape design, recognising projects that go beyond design excellence to champion sustainability, ecological responsibility, and the legacy of our profession’s pioneers. To be acknowledged in this way is deeply humbling.
This project began with a simple brief: “Soften major earthworks and terracing around the new administration building with low-water, low-maintenance planting.” But through conversations with the client—a broadacre agricultural enterprise committed to land stewardship and sustainability—the vision grew. Together, we set out to create a regionally significant, native-dominant plantscape that demonstrates the potential of resilient, ecologically rich gardens in commercial and rural contexts.
The result is a contemporary, immersive landscape that balances aesthetic impact with ecological function, celebrates seasonal change, supports biodiversity, and embodies the client’s ethos of sustainability.
This project proposes a new model for rural and commercial landscapes; not as an afterthought, but as a core component of the built environment and an extension of the natural environment - practical, sustainable and deeply connected to place.
A huge thank you to the judging panel and to for such a well-run and inspiring event. What an absolute privilege it was to be in a room with so many incredible Australian landscape designers whose work continues to inspire me.
And of course, none of this would have been possible without our local contractors and suppliers, whose skill and dedication helped bring this vision to life.
This award is not just a recognition of one project—it’s a reminder of what’s possible when we rethink how landscapes can perform, inspire, and connect to place.
