Australian Landscape Principles

May 4, 2009 – 4:19 pm

The AILA National Conference in Melbourne will be using the Australian Landscape Principles as the basis for the discussions on the future of professional practice. The Australian Landscape Principles have been developed as a strategic response to this issue, based on respect for the inherent and measurable values of landscape when developing planning, design and management strategies for climate change adaptation in our natural and built environments.

At least one practice will be interrogating their own practice for their presentation at the conference and discussing the issues of ethics in their decision making and in their project work.

The question for all members: Have you conducted such an assessment recently? Have you any thoughts on conducting this kind of in-house study? or any other comments on the future of the profession and the use of the Landscape Principles ?

Look forward to your comments.

Paul Costigan
AILA Executive Director
