We are delighted to announce that the AILA NSW 2019 Landscape Architecture Award for Infrastructure has been won by the Woolgoolga to Ballina Pacific Highway Upgrade project.
Due to open in 2020, the project involves construction of the final 133km section of Pacific Highway upgrade between Woolgoolga and Ballina together with two major new bridges over the Clarence and the Richmond Rivers.
Pacific Complete was engaged Roads and Maritime Services to deliver the $4.9 billion project. Corkery Consulting and Studio Colin Polwarth were commissioned as specialist consultants to coordinate the landscape and urban design for the whole project. Due to the very large scale of this major infrastructure project and a compressed timeframe it was divided into six sections each designed by a separate professional services team led by an engineering firm. The design teams included leading urban and landscape design firms - Context Landscape Design/Conybeare Morrison, Spackman Mossop Michaels, Hassell and Tract.
