Speaking up for Landscape Architecture

For us to create meaningful change, it’s essential that government understand the true value of our work.

Working with members, we develop a leading position on issues our industry is well-placed to solve. Our advocacy and research aims to inform and influence government and allied professions - making sure that landscape architects are involved at every stage in the design of better places. 

Our advocacy focuses on three areas:

Healthy Communities

We advocate for the role parks and open spaces play in people’s physical and mental wellbeing.

Urban Green Infrastructure

We advocate for connected open spaces – a green space network – to improve social, economic and environmental outcomes across Australia.

Liveable Cities

We advocate for the role open space plays in connection, identity and liveability – especially in our increasingly dense and globalised cities.
