Just wondering what the heck a hackathon is?We’d like your help to influence the future design and landscaping within the university and we need a mixture of skills, expertise and backgrounds to make it really great. So what is a hackathon? Working together to work towards a common goal, involving all types of skills and backgrounds – in this circumstance, anything from complex architectural designs and landscaping practicalities to marvellous marketing concepts and perfect pitching practice. Think of it as a modern-day barn raising, where the collective energy of community members is harnessed into action.All you need – one afternoon to bring your imagination, passion and ability to work as part of a team. In return – a fun afternoon where you get to practice and learn new skills, meet your peers AND an opportunity to see your ideas come to life in the redesign of the campus.

Their objective is to balance landscape philosophies and values with modern design and planning, so as to enhance each project and add value to their clients’ business.Taking their cue from nature itself, many of their projects are designed within a regional context which is reflected in the special treatment and selection of materials evident in the chosen design solution. The use of indigenous materials within modern design provides a vivid and permanent reminder of our own landscape and creates a sense of belonging for people and buildings.
