We are very proud to announce that Apex Park at Liverpool has won a GOLD AWARD for Landscape Design at the Sydney Design Awards 2022.

This project, which we constructed for Liverpool City Council in 2020, was submitted to these awards by Turf Design Studio, the landscape architects. 

This Gold Landscape Design Award follows on from the SILVER AWARD won for Commercial and Civil Construction $1.5m - $3m at the 2021 Landscape Excellence Awards!

The Project Brief was to turn Apex Park into a new landmark for Liverpool, creating an atractive and welcoming space for residents and visitors, while sympthetically acknowleging the Park's pioneer history. Positioned on a pulsating intersection in the hub of Liverpool, Apex Park is the location of Liverpool’s first cemetery for pioneer settlers, and consequently one of the city’s most historic parks. Abandoned by the settlers due to dampness, the Park was left to ruin however later transformed into a recreational area in the mid-fifties.

Due to amplified popularity and growing residential community, Apex Park was selected for further redevelopment. Over 8,300sqm of parkland and playground was upgraded, incorporating a new memorial plaza and picnic area added, open lawn for multi-purpose use with new seating, landscaped gardens and accessible pathway networks.  With the new playground a key focus, forming an exploratory circuit with a multiplay structure, cycle paths, maze and a nature play with elevated balance beams amongst the trees.
