Landscape Architects :  Urban Initiatives

Year: 2000

Awards: 2000 AILA Merit Award in Landscape Architecture


Overview

The Melbourne based firm, Urban Initiatives designed this award winning landscape.  The Landscape Architects were employed by the local council to work with the local group of the RSL (Returned Services League) in siting a new statue. 

The project evolved into something much larger.  The whole space was redesigned creating a forecourt featuring two dramatically placed statues and a water feature in the shape of a cross. 

This space is used each year for Anzac Day ceremonies. 

Behind the walls of the forecourt a comfortable passive space which is frequented by the public and office workers.
