So as we start dreaming about heading off on our holidays to relax and roll into the festive spirit with colleagues, friends and families, please don’t miss out on these great opportunities to get involved and connect with your fellow LA’s. Join us as we come together to celebrate the end of 2021 at the AILA QLD 2021 Christmas Party & Karl Langer Award night by registering here to be held at The Garden Room, Roma Street Parklands from 6pm on Thursday 9th December. The final year QUT students have been hard at work and please come peruse the future of Landscape Architecture with the Karl Langer Award nominees displaying their creative genius. The jury panel of Josh Hinwood, Vicki Barclay and myself are excited to reveal the prestigious Karl Lander Award recipient of 2021 and showcase the future champions of our profession. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new wonderful AILA member exclusive portal Memberscape it is now live and a fantastic initiative to learn, collaborate and enrichen your mind in this member exclusive community. Just a reminder we are currently seeking your passion and commitment to be the next 2022 Festival Creative Directors. Please register your interest to excite our minds and challenge our thinking. As always, I’m looking forward to topping out the year and catching up with many of you at the AILA QLD 2021 Christmas Party in a few weeks…. Please don’t forget to register for one of our great social gatherings of the year! Jamie Franklin AILA SUN Chair
