Resene NZILA Awards

The Resene NZILA Awards celebrate the very best of landscape architecture across Aotearoa, recognising the projects, people and partnerships shaping our places and communities.

From built landscapes and public spaces through to strategy, planning, research and communication, the Awards reflect the breadth of our profession and its contribution to the environments we live in every day.
