Landscape architecture focuses on all aspects of landscape and land use planning, design and management.

This includes the restoration and rehabilitation of disturbed areas, as well as the design and management of outdoor spaces to create exciting, functional and attractive environments which contribute to the life of the community. Landscape architects work on a variety of scales, ranging from major regional projects to urban developments which include industrial, commercial, recreational and residential environments. The course will be submitted for accreditation by the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects prior to being introduced in 2015.
