Once again it is fantastic see such a high level of work being submitted from around the States. The level of presentation was on the whole excellent, with a strong shift this year towards computer generated graphics. The winning entries all addressed the Brief accurately and presented carefully designed gardens that are imaginative whilst also suiting the client and site conditions.
The winner of the Allan Correy Student Design Award (not necessarily 1st place) gave a thoughtful comment on the contemporary Australian landscape design style and translated it beautifully into a cohesive design, epitomising the spirit of the Allan Correy Award.
We thank and congratulate all students for their efforts as well as their teachers for supporting the competition.

The LCA treated members, landscape architects, landscape designers, builders and horticulturalists; to an awesome display of their skills at the 2009 LCA Awards at Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh. AILDM Immediate Past President Arthur Lathouris and his wife Rosemary were amongst those in attendance.
As the sun set they strolled amidst a pictorial plethora of work by LCA members whilst being served canapés, cold ales and wines.
They heard all about the blood sweat and tears needed to produce such excellent work from the Category Winners (see below). One winner had to overcome flood, winds and drought in one project losing 130,000 plant plugs overnight in one such episode!
On one job alone, multi industry award winners, Able Landscaping from Canberra; laid over 20,000 square metres of paving!!!!!
Another category winner Landscape Solutions; built Sydney’s newest harbourside park at Ballast Point in Birchgrove, approximately 7 kilometres from Sydney’s CBD. The gabion wall there has to be seen to be believed.
Congratulation to LCA/AILDM members ‘Good Manors Residential Gardens’, ‘Natures Vision Landscapes” and ‘The Gardenmakers’ who were amongst the Category Winners (see below).
This foyer sculpture, ‘Sails II’, is a progression from Roger’s earlier work, ‘Sails’ but its organic curves would work really well in the landscape.
