Award for Planning in Landscape Architecture
CITY OF STONNINGTON PUBLIC REALM STRATEGY
Landscape Architect: ASPECT Studios Pty Ltd
Client: City of Stonnington
 Landscape
architecture is increasingly playing a greater role in all parts of the
public realm and not just parks. The Stonnington Public Realm Strategy
provides a strategic vision for the entire municipality in addition to
exploring the parameters of public space and the future demands for such
spaces.
The project applies a broad approach to the
definition of public space which includes the contribution that
streetscapes, linear trails and waterways make to the public realm.
Research and analysis inform the needs for open space provision along with
making consideration for future demands such as demographic change and
climate change. Open space provision was assessed relative to comparable
municipalities to establish benchmarks for spatial provisions as well as
open space quality. The strategy also identified the need to review and
update the document to respond to the changing dynamics (both physical and
social) of the local community.
The jury was impressed by the comprehensive
nature of the study. Research, analysis and theory were translated to a
clearly legible report with plans and diagrams. The document provides the
City of Stonnington with a strategic vision for the planning, design and
management of open spaces across the municipality.
