The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Awards showcases the positive impact landscape architecture has on Australian lives through the built and natural environments.

Winner of the Design Excellence Award, the judges stated; “The Fremantle Esplanade Youth Plaza is an excellent example of an integrated landscape project that draws on the history of place and successfully balances youth recreational activities with family space within existing green parkland.

Catering to the growing demand for social and urban activities the expanded vision that Convic have bought to the design including its dynamic integration into the surrounding parkland ensures a broad spectrum of community will engage with this space.

This landscape clearly illustrates how landscape architecture can play a significant role in bringing about positive social change.”
