Dear Members and sponsors,
Welcome to this ‘spring’ edition of QLDmark, and especially to our new Fellows Catherine Brower, Michael McKinnon and John Mongard! These were celebrated at the New Members and Fellows Dinner at the Kangaroo Point Hotel on 23rd July: a great opportunity to see new and current fellows exchange their views and aspirations with each other, and with new registered members. It is really inspirational to see the enthusiasm of professionals spanning generations with no sign of wearing off.
As the warmer weather is back with us outside already, I can also sense heat building up in a number of practices as we approach the AILA Queensland Awards! These will be announced at the Awards Night on Friday 18th September, to be held at Gianni’s, Portside Hamilton. The quality of the venue as well as that of the entries and the general mood of optimism in the profession - despite the current economic climate - give me confidence in the fact that this should be a very good event to be enjoyed by all. Details and booking are open on-line - I look forward to enjoying the night with you then!
This excitement was shared across the state, and not only with members and professionals, but also with the general community. Indeed, we trialed a new form of advertising of the profession by displaying the entries for the AILA Queensland in public places across the State by each of our regional groups. This has provided great opportunities to increase the level of awareness of the profession with the public and enable practices to be aware of each other’s achievements, as well as provide exposure to our sponsors.
A variety of regular professional development events also attracted high attendance at across the State. These range from now traditional Surfing gatherings (AILA Gold), very popular discussions on major centre redevelopments (Maroochydore CBD master plan, AILA SUN).
In Brisbane, variety was also expressed with a broad range of topics: the last Lead workshop event conducted by Chris Boulton on the theme of Innovation was a great success, and the challenging activities were enjoyed by all participants. The first Explore event was held at Southbank Institute of Technology last week, and offered a great opportunity to talk about the integrated project development approach adopted between a landscape architect (Andrew Green, GMG), a furniture manufacturer (David Shaw, Street and Garden Furniture), an artists (Alex Lotersztain) and project manager (Adrian Jones, John Holland Builders) to deliver an educational precinct which sets new benchmark for a built environment in Brisbane.
AILA Scenic Amenity Group is also planning a third in a series of professional workshops on the topic of Scenic Assessment, to be held in conjunction with UDAL before the end of the year. Please refer to the calendar of events below for upcoming events for greater details.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any suggestions for future professional development events, and I look forward to catching up with you at the awards!
Cheers,
Jean.

AILA FNQ LAUNCH EVENT AND PUBLIC EXHIBITION
Renée Jezard
AWARDS LAUNCH EVENT – 30th July
A ‘preview’ of the awards was displayed in Conics’ Townsville Office foyer. Approximately 20 people (LA’s and their staff, as well as Council Officers) arrived to view the award entrants, and to enjoy drinks and nibbles with fellow designers.
PUBLIC EXHIBITION – 2nd August
The Cotters Market, Flinders Mall proved to be an excellent venue for displaying Queensland’s Landscape Architecture Project Award Entrants. This display generated a lot of interest from the local public and tourists alike. It was interesting to learn that some of the tourists were developers and designers from down South who happened to be holidaying in the area.
Feedback from the public was very positive. The exhibition was popular, and a welcome change to the regular Sunday market structure. The local projects were of particular interest to the public, and therefore FNQ AILA may consider another stall in the future to display local work
Providing a stall at the next ‘Careers Day’ Expo was another suggestion put forward at the markets by the public, and it was agreed that it would great way to raise the profile of the profession in Townsville. One of the objectives that our group is keen to see through is to provide a course at James Cook University (Townsville) for Landscape Architecture - a course that is accessible to students in the North, and encourages students to remain in the North. Generating interest amongst the public, in this way, is just the first positive step towards achieving that objective.
AILA FNQ would like to thank Townsville City Council for donating a space at the Cotters Market and for the Lipstick Palms which decorated our stall. A special thanks to Wal Smith, Andy Froggatt, Lucilla Marshall and Steve Falvey for assisting in the set up of the exhibition, and for giving up their time to man the display (with their kids and all!).
We look forward to our next event to be held on the 22nd October.
Please refer to the events page on AILA’s website for further details.

AILA Gold
Gerard McCormick
AILA Gold Surf
The final June event for the AILA Gold Surf series was held at Currumbin Alley on 24 June 2009. Unfortunately, the two days leading to the Wednesday surf consisted of ugly, near cyclonic conditions, causing prospective attendees, including a well known Brisbane diehard, Stephen Pate to boycott the event.
In traditional fashion the wind dropped off on Wednesday morning and the surf straightened up with clean 4 foot lines reeling through the Alley. AILA Gold regular Chris Moore advised later “the surf always pumps for these events” and he was right. Chris had it all to himself.
The concept of meeting for a surf was proposed for 2009 to establish common ground in the AILA Gold group and network with members and non-members. We will look at continuing the surf meetings in 2010 with some potential informal catch-up as the weather warms up through the end of 2009. Thanks to all those that supported the event.
Contact Gerard McCormick 0407 651 096 for details.
2009 AILA Awards Launch Gold Coast
The 2009 AILA awards were informally launched July event on the 31st of July. The event was held in conjunction with the Australian Institute of Architects, Gold Coast Group at their Christmas in July get together at Spendlove Bistro and Bar.
The event was well attended and led to some good networking and discussion of potential joint AIA and AILA events in 2010.
The Awards posters where then displayed for two weeks at Gold Coast City Councils Nerang Chambers. AILA Gold would like to thank the GCCC particularly City Architect Chris Gee and Lily Chan for coordinating the display.

LEAD BREAKFAST SERIES No. 4 Innovation: Uncertainty to Inspiration
No problem is ever solved by the thinking that created it (Albert Einstein)
Our most recent LEAD Series Breakfast was held on 16 July 2009 and was a highly interactive experience well attended with around 30 participants. Performance Frontiers’ Martin Challis again teamed up with Immediate Past AILA Qld State President Chris Boulton to facilitate almost three hours of activities and conversation that was thought provoking, informative and engaging.
What is innovation in Landscape Architecture and why is it important? How am I innovative and what are the challenges I face?
The first part of our conversation explored the culture of innovation to stimulate thinking and discussion around innovation in the profession and allied industries of landscape architecture. A "world café" scenario was applied for individuals to build a personal relationship to innovation and stimulate awareness around the need for innovation and the issues faced.
Over some breakfast delights, participants then moved into the second part of our conversation "Unlocking Creativity and the Creative Process", to experience and enjoy a taste of part of the innovation process. This included several activities including Letting Go, Wild Wild Ideas, and Hot Seating. Imagine yourself in someone else's shoes! Our final part of the morning involved some group reflection on Facilitating Creativity and Innovation: How Does it Happen" to relate innovation to our daily roles, projects, activities and the world in which we work.
Our Breakfast was another success with participants keen to get involved, and appreciated an alternative approach to professional development and learning.
The AILA QLD Executive would like to thank our Event Partner Performance Frontiers in particular Martin Challis for co facilitating this event.
This event would not have been possible without the support of our Event Sponsor Raylinc lighting and in particular to Craig Crawford for attending and taking part in the morning.

The AILA QLD Project Awards in Landscape Architecture for 2009
LAUNCH EVENT – BRISBANE
The 2009 AILA QLD Project Awards in Landscape Architecture unveiled a new element this year to the ‘Awards Night’ and that was the ‘Launch Night’. In order to give the awards the true exposure they deserve, the committee decided to host not one but two events in honor of the hard work & creative talents that the QLD Landscape Architects bring to these awards.
The QLD Launch Event provided an opportunity to unveil the 2009 QLD State Award submissions to not just our fellow peers and distinguished guests prior to the awards night in September, but to the general public as well. This event showcased some of the most outstanding placemaking and environmentally sustainable projects aila members in Queensland have been working on in the past two years.
The ‘Brisbane Launch Night’ for the QLD Award Submission Display was launched in Brisbane on the 29th July 2009 at Street and Garden Furniture. It was an exciting occasion to view and flourish in the achievements of our fellow peers and provided an opportunity to be inspired by the outstanding work that the talented Queensland Landscape Architects have accomplished over the past two years.
The Award Submission display was then exhibited at the King George Square Bus Terminal for four days in an attempt to expose our industry to the public and perhaps broaden the publics’ view of Landscape Architecture through the 2009 QLD State Award submission. Similar displays of the entries have also been undertaken in public places around Queensland with the collaboration of our regional groups AILA SUN, AILA GOLD & AILA FNQ,.
The Awards Night itself will be a formal event in which guests will be secluded to our industry. Here we can show our support to our fellow colleagues and indulge is a night full of entertainment, fine dining and the awards winners announcements. The ‘QLD Awards Night’ will be held on the 18th September 2009 at Gianni’s Portside, so book this date into your calendar as you don’t want to miss out on the 2009 Australian Institute of Landscape Architects QLD State Awards.
Thanks again to our Awards Sponsors, and all the entries; as these two events wouldn’t be possible and certainly wouldn’t be as spectacular as they are without their support.

Thank you to our wonderful Award Sponsors

National Council Update
Mark Fuller FAILA
Climate Adaption Tools for Sustainable Settlements (CATSS)
The Australian Institute of Landscape Architects has currently started
working on another Commonwealth funded project in partnership with the
CSIRO and the International Federation of Landscape Architects to
undertake a review of rating tools and strategies for climate change
adaptation & mitigation in urban landscape planning, design and management.
This project (reporting in June 2010) involves evaluating climate
adaptation & sustainability assessment tools which are either currently
in use or under development in Australia and overseas, with an aim of
recommending best practice exemplars for potential future adoption and
support at both government and industry level.
Climate Change Adaptation Skills for Professionals Program
Meanwhile the first Commonwealth funded program is in its second stage and is using the Landscape Principles to develop CPD modules to assist the profession in dealing with adaptation and mitigation for climate change.
Future Leaders Award
Special announcements were made at the National Conference in Melbourne introducing two new scholarships (to replace former national awards) for Future Leaders within Landscape Architectures. The two new scholarships are to be titled after two of the profession’s leaders. The first to be offered this year is the Bruce Mackenzie Future Leaders Award. The second to be offered in 2010 is the Jim Sinatra Future Leaders Award.
The two awards will be offered on a rotating basis with the first winner to be announced later this year in conjunction with the Margaret Hendry Talk to be staged in December at the Gallery of Australian Design in Canberra.
The award includes a travel/CPD scholarship to the value of $3,000. Submissions are now open – with notices on the web site.

AILA national one-day conference September 2009
There is to be a one day national conference in Perth on Monday 21st September. Details have been announced and are on the web site: www.aila.org.au/Perth.
The AILA Registration
The National Office is now exploring options to establish some online units that all applicants for registration will need to undergo and complete. The need for these units has been identified through feedback from mentors and assessors in previous rounds of mentorship. The units will address contractual and legal matters as well as other key practice and professional issues. These new units are planned to be introduced first in 2010 but will be added to over time.
Education Policy
The National Council has been very busy debating the education policy for several years now and had notified members and the accredited programs through 2008 that a major review would be undertaken during 2009. The first consultation paper, circulated in April this year, was mainly well received with many members sending back comments and suggestions. Council again had some intensive debates on the issues raised and a second consultation paper was then circulated for final comments.
National Council will be meeting in mid September and one of the key agenda items will be to finalise the Education Policy. It is fully anticipated that as new programs are developed, or present programs undergo change, that the policy will be debated and tested as a benchmark of the professions expectations.
The National Council is looking forward to the robust debates on future directions of programs.
AGM 2009
The next National Council and AGM will be in Perth Sunday 20th September in conjunction with a National One Day Conference Monday21st September.
Nominations for the election of new Councillors has closed. All the present Council membership have renominated and will be announced as being elected at the AGM.
Gallery of Australian Design
The AILA has partnered with the AIA, National Museum and the University of Canberra to oversee the establishment of the Australian Gallery of Design at Commonwealth Place in Canberra. Opening Tuesday 15th September will be, Sunburnt, a national exhibition on Landscape Architecture.
The exhibition has been brought together and curated by SueAnne Ware and Julian Raxworthy.
http://www.gad.org.au
The AILA is assisting with this Canberra exhibition.
National Council Policy Directions
It has been a busy time with national policy work in the last couple of months. Policy documents have now been published on
• Australian Landscape Principles
• Green Infrastructure
• Landscape Architecture in Australia
• Sustainable Settlement (with BEDP)
• National Registration (with BEDP)
• Sustainability (with BEDP)
Another paper being developed by Council will address the future directions being undertaken by the AILA in education and in developing research partnerships.
Policy papers can be accessed via the web site: www.aila.org.au/policies

AILA SUN – Trish Menzies and Greg Thomas
AILA SUN Awards Launch
Around sunset on 20th August, about 30 AILA members and guests convened at the only Green Star accredited building on the Sunshine Coast – ‘The Edge’. Commencing with a glass of wine or a bottle of beer on the terrace, enjoying the views of the sun disappearing across Lake Kawana, an evening of socialising and reviewing this year’s award entries was embraced by all.

AILA Sun Event : 23 July 2009 Maroochy CBD 2026?
AILA Sun hosted a successful evening at the Maroochy Surf Lifesaving Club on 23 July on the topic of Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s position paper and vision for the new Maroochy CBD.
The evening featured talks by SCRC Strategy and Planning Committee Chair Cr Vivien Griffin, and SCRC Principal Urban Designer Andrew Cooksley, as well as an exhibition of QUT fourth year student’s work on the same topic: Resilient Maroochydore 2029 – Urban Design Futures.
The evening was a great success with an attendance of more than 80 people representing a broad cross section of the design professions, property and development sectors, Council, and QUT student body. Also in attendance was MP Fiona Simpson.
Peter Nastrom, Sunshine Coast Regional Council landscape architect and QUT tutor opened with an address to the group summarising the student exhibition. This well presented exhibition of student work showcased the exceptional array of thinking and design resolution that has been prepared by the fourth year students. The exhibition attracted a lot on interest from all attendees and highlighted the talent and rigour that has been applied to the topic. These students will be shaping our tomorrow in the workforce and the level of design consideration and examination of the difficult topic is to be highly commended.
Councillor Vivien Griffin then addressed the room with an introduction to Council’s position paper for the CBD. Councillor Griffin is clearly passionate about seeing robust solutions being translated into reality for Maroochydore and elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast, and is an avid proponent of greening the city. The position paper outlines visions and strategies for managing growth through to 2031 and beyond, with the key message to create vibrant, green and diverse solutions that provide the all important sense of place for the city.
The main drawcard though for the evening was Andrew Cooksley’s talk. Andrew has been an integral part of the process to date for the formulation of the position paper for Maroochy CBD. Andrew has also recently taken up a 12 month part-time position with the Qld Government Architect Philip Follent in Brisbane and assists in advocating for improved urban design outcomes for the whole of Queensland. as well as continuing his current role in the SCRC.
Andrew’s talk focused on the vision for the future that will drive the transformation of Maroochydore into a Principal Activity Centre for the Sunshine Coast. Andrew focused on the important transport and circulation corridors and networks that will provide the linkages for the various precincts (including government, commercial, mixed use, open space and residential) that form the framework of the new CBD. Importantly, the vision will create a central rail transit interchange as the hub of the centre, and a significant open space provision providing a pedestrian network that links the Maroochy river, beaches and the business district via a green network, the ‘lungs of the city’.
The central philosophy of the vision is to create a central CBD hub for the coast that is underpinned by the quality of the public domain and its accessibility, as well as allowing for flexibility to adapt and evolve over time.
The evening was all in all a great success and a positively received promotion for the landscape architectural profession on the coast.

News in the Profession
Curator – Record Tenure
The Curator-in-Charge of the Brisbane Botanic Gardens – Ross McKinnon AM, has just reached a personal milestone, with a record tenure in the position of twenty-six years and fifteen days.
Actually Ross has been working in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens now for a record thirty-seven years, the first ten years as 2iC to the previous Curator.
Walter Hill was the Brisbane Botanic Gardens’ first Curator – from 1855-1881 (26 years, 8 days) and Harold Caulfield was Curator from 1956-1982 (26 years, 13 days). Ross passed both of these records on the 15th of June 2009.
Quarterly visitor surveys show that the Brisbane Botanic Gardens at suburban Mt Coot-tha are now that city’s second largest tourist attraction after only the combined attractions of South Bank.
Reflecting on the growth of the new Brisbane Botanic Gardens during his Curatorship, Mr McKinnon said that he was most proud of the doubling in size of the Botanic Gardens from approximately 25 to 52 hectares, with the addition of the 25 hectare Australian Native Plants Gardens, which now contains the worlds largest collection of Australian Native rainforest trees, numbering more than 2,500 labelled species.
The Brisbane Botanic Gardens also have reputable and internationally significant collections of Palms, Bromeliads, Cacti and Succulents, Ferns, Exotic Tropical Plants, the largest public display of Bonsai in Australia, Conifers, Cool Temperate and Tropical Display Dome collections and a significant collection of subtropical fruiting trees.
As well, the Brisbane Botanic Gardens now have one of the world’s largest public education programs called “Lessons in the Gardens”, some years over 14,000 students a year access these fully self-funding education programs. Six school teachers are now engaged in teaching these lessons in the Gardens programs for preschoolers, right through to university students – with a heavy emphasis on the environment and sustainable living.
Each weekend, some of Australia’s largest horticultural exhibitions are conducted in the Auditorium in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, spawning a whole cottage industry supplying plants not generally available in the nursery trade to eager plant hunters.
Brisbane Botanic Gardens now host national and international plant species conferences in conjunction with these weekend horticultural exhibitions, attracting national and international speakers.
Two-hundred Botanic Artists now meet and receive instruction and conduct exhibitions each year in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.
DESIGN CONSULTANCIES
Ross has also been engaged through Brisbane City Enterprises in the design of Botanic Gardens and has lived in Shen-Zhen in South East China, a Botanic Gardens in Rodrigues – east of Mauritius, and other Botanic Gardens and resort developments in Fiji, Western Samoa, Thailand, the Marshall Islands, and Papua New Guinea.
Ross and his team have been responsible for the steering and gazetting of over thirty regional Queensland Botanic Gardens, and Ross has now been Chairman of the Council Heads of Australian Botanic Gardens Group – an umbrella group representing all Australian Botanic Gardens on five occasions.
Botanic Gardens technical staff under Ross’s direction have edited a number of regional Botanic Gardens, scientific papers and anthologies.
Ross counts as a coup the procuring of the Japanese Gardens for the Brisbane Botanic Gardens from the World Expo ’88 – site at South Bank following a chance meeting with the then Lord Mayor, Sallyanne Atkinson.
The Japanese Garden is now the most popular garden within the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, and the site for many important cultural exchanges, exhibitions and demonstrations and has just celebrated it’s twentieth anniversary since relocation to the Gardens.
Ross has judged national and international Garden competitions and London’s Chelsea Flower Show and Belgium’s Floralies – horticultural exhibition.
In June 2009 Ross was chosen as one of 150 Queenslanders to appear in a book entitled “QUEENSLANDERS ALL OVER”, launched by the Premier of Queensland, the Hon. Anna Bligh at Parliament House on Wednesday the 24th of June 2009 to celebrate our States’ Sesquicentenary (150 years).
“For services to horticulture”, Ross was awarded the Order of Australia (AM) in 1999, along with the inaugural Brisbane City Council Employee of the Year – Award.

Pacific Trees Spring Update - Christina Gnezdiloff
Spring in a nursery is always an exciting time, and at Pacific Trees exciting is an understatement.
Looking at all the trees bursting with new life with the unseasonally warm start to the season, you can’t help but feel hopeful for the newness spring brings.
It makes trees seem so much more important in creating our environments, seeing the new growth, knowing the cooling shade they will bring come summer and the floral displays that will bring great pleasure over the coming weeks. Yes spring is definitely an exciting time and we at Pacific Trees would love to see even more trees going into our environments creating those places we can all enjoy.
For the coastal environments, spring is also the time when the Pandanus seem to grow exponentially.
At Pacific Trees it’s Pandanus, Pandanus, Pandanus, if you would like any information on how and where to use these hardy beachfront plants don’t hesitate to contact us.
Also visit our website www.pacifictrees.com.au to see images of different Pandanus sizes and shapes.
There will definitely be one to suit your project and its personality.
The other favourite just starting to come into their own are Plumeria obtusa, Pacific Trees have a number of larger sizes just bursting with new growth and those aromatic flower bunches.
