Project Description:
LEES+Associates was commissioned by the Sunshine Coast Botanical Garden Society to create a master plan to guide the next 15 years of garden development. The master plan sets out a phased, high-level design for the forty acre site and detailed design for the first phase of development.
Priorities and possibilities were explored during an intensive design charrette with experts, designers, Sunshine Botanical Garden staff, board members and stakeholders. Building on strong consensus, the master plan design clarifies site circulation and structure, enriches visitor experience and celebrates the importance of culture, people and plants.
