Canberra International Arboretum and Gardens Design Competition

Inspiring Place

Client: Chief Minister’s Office, ACT

Jury Citation: Inspiring Place’s entry for the Canberra Arboretum Design Competition is an outstanding planning and design response to a site with complex environmental issues. Although not the winning entrant in this international design competition, Inspiring Place prepared a unique and significant design. The entry reflects a comprehensive approach to the balanced resolution of environmental concerns, fire management issues, and site opportunities with a richly considered design response.

An exemplary planting design project, which uses exotic, indigenous and threatened species, the design is an outstanding demonstration of site planning which is responsive to the character of the site and landscape.
