Public Landscapes

Design Approach Jeavons designs aim to maximise the aesthetic qualities of every space and have an underlying functionality, reflecting the importance of physical and social access, fitness for purpose, practicality of maintenance and environmental sustainability.
Over a diverse range of public landscapes with distinct site conditions we address users’ requirements, the site conditions and cultural, social and other influences. We incorporate visual assessment, WSUD/ecological design, play, recreation and heritage issues into our scope of works.

Design stages
Through master planning and schematic design stages, while engaging with diverse communities, we resolve management, technical and user issues into coherent designs for budgeting and implementation.

Our quality documentation drawings ensure that the projects can be costed accurately, tendered and constructed without confusion and to a high standard.

We frequently work with a wide range of other professionals including recreation planners architects, artists, engineers, planners, ecologists, quantity surveyors and cultural advisors in collaborative teams.

Resolution of Complex site Issues 
The Clifton Hill Railway line duplication project is an example of where the landscape architecture brief was extensive, and involved the restoration of the indigenous creek vegetation and environment, design of a complex intersection on the capital city bike path up a steep slope, advocacy for creation of new public open spaces, design of a small park under the bridge, accessible pedestrian crossings over the lines, and co-ordination and consultation with authorities, two local councils and a diverse local community.
At the Caulfield Race Course, the Melbourne Racing Club brief requires @ leisure planners and Jeavons Landscape Architects to resolve complex multi layered functional issues in a space also used by the public on non race days.
