PARKS AND RECREATION
The practice has been involved in planning, consultation, design and documentation for parks, open space and passive recreation facilities for a wide range of local councils and developers. Our depth of experience covers the full spectrum of services from preparing open space master plans and Plans of Management of large parkland areas through to the design of small local parks. An emphasis on sustainable outcomes and strong reference to place, community and recreation needs guide the process. Our design solutions provide spaces that are flexible, accessible and stimulating, offering opportunities for excitement, activation and learning.
