Landscape architect Sophie Zaccone collaborated closely with local Indigenous community members to co-design a meaningful outdoor space. As a design-construct-maintain practice, she selected high-quality materials for the furnishings to meet both aesthetic and functional goals, while working within 
the project’s limited budget.

Finalised in December, the new garden brings together a rich palette of materials, including natural stone, painted Indigenous artworks, and FSC®-certified hardwood. The circular Solid Planters complement the playful energy of the artwork and introduce structured greenery into the urban setting. To ensure healthy plant growth in this harsh climate, the planters are equipped with an integrated reservoir system (Treetec® Bottom Up) that supports sustainable irrigation.

Against the tall stone walls, Sophie added a half-oval Mobile Green Isle combining a planting bed and timber seating, softening the space and creating more intimate areas for rest and reflection.

The project has been submitted to the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects Awards. More than a bid for recognition, it offers a lasting contribution to community health, culture, and care. True to the mission of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
