Jury comment
The Cooroy Hinterland Adventure Playground is an all-abilities playground that is thoughtfully integrated into its surroundings. This landscape provides play amenity that responds to site and existing community assets, connecting to the local library and cultural precincts. The project demonstrates innovative thinking, with a commitment to canopy provision and a clear design approach led by a philosophy that “everything must be playable.” This approach has ensured that fun is embedded into the space, encouraging young site users to explore.
Transforming Southbank Boulevard is built in Noosa, Queensland on the land of the Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi people.
