We were excited to be back in Newman recently to see how well the trees in the green spines of the Newman Town Centre revitalisation project have been growing. Planted in 2012, these Tipuana tipu (also known as ‘Pride of Bolivia’) at Iron Ore Parade were installed in double rows, with a tree on either side of the path.

The result, as the recent photo shows, is a connected canopy for maximised pedestrian comfort. With increasing awareness of the importance of urban canopy, it’s visual proof of our favourite tree proverb – “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now”.

Progress at Ocean Reef Marina continues. Last last year, the State Government announced a funding uplift for the project to include Perth’s first coastal pool. The Olympic-sized pool is expected to be in place by 2025 with the multi-staged construction of the marina due for final completion by 2036.

Another colleague congratulations from us this week – this time to Associate Landscape Architect Caine Holdsworth who recently completed (with first-class honours!) a Graduate Certificate in Arboriculture from the University of Melbourne.

We’re thrilled to share the news that our colleague Amy Stewart has been awarded the 2022 Landscape Australia Student Prize for UWA.

UDLA Director Scott Lang has been recognised with a Fellowship at the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA).

UDLA are pleased to see works progressing well at the T.L. Robertson Library Refurbishment at Curtin’s Bentley campus. UDLA were engaged to develop the public realm landscape improvements associated with the service upgrades due for completion early 2023.

We’re proud to share progress on site at The Oval Precinct – the first stage of the larger Subi East Redevelopment project that we have been undertaking for DevelopmentWA in collaboration with Design Partner OCULUS.

Fremantle Design Week concluded with a PechaKucha event hosted by UDLA’s Design Communications Director, Loren Holmes.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Designing Cities Symposium, as part of the recent Fremantle Design Week. UDLA's Studio Principal Shea Hatch facilitated the Symposium, during which we heard from a range of insightful perspectives about the process of making cities.

We were thrilled to hold an event for the inaugural Fremantle Design Week. Titled Trusting the Process, the event was an open studio conversation with Vanessa Margetts, Pierre Quesnel, Rosie Halsmith, Hamish Firth and Fred Chaney.

We’re pleased to see that UDLA’s design for the landscape associated with a new and partly retained jetty at Woodman Point is getting taken to detailed design – one step closer to its realisation and new life for future generations.

A project we’ve been working on for a few years is the Fremantle Harbours Masterplan. It’s now available to look at (and comment on) via the Department of Transport’s MySay website.
