Jury
Comments
Earth Tech Engineering Pty Ltd
(formerly Fisher Stewart) was contracted to provide engineering and
landscape architecture services over a 5 year period to
the Bayside City Council. At the start their staff
consisted of 8 engineers and one part-time landscape architect, but by the
end the landscape architecture input had increased to 2 full-time positions
and become an integral part of a wide range of projects.
Activities with landscape
architecture input included:
-
standard design, documentation and contract administration projects
-
customer services and public consultation
-
asset
management
-
traffic, parking and pedestrian studies
-
assessment of access equity and public transport issues
-
safety
audits.
Through
the overall effect of their cumulative inputs, the landscape architects at
Earth Tech dramatically increased the sheer volume and consistency with
which their skills were used, broadened relationships of an
interdisciplinary nature and developed close working relationships that will
be valuable for more complex design projects in future.
The jury
congratulates the proponents on a project that should set new standards
throughout local government, and awards a Commendation.
