‘The date has been set for our NT strategy workshop on 23rd of September at 9am ACST. Working with AILA CEO Shahana McKenzie this workshop aims to determine the aims and objectives of the local chapter that marry in with the new national strategy.
AILA has recently launched a work experience directory which provides high school students with the opportunity to search for work experience within landscape architecture firms. The directory allows students, career advisors and parents to search by location or practice name and provides them with contact details for all of the practices offering opportunities. If your practice currently offers work experience opportunities for high school students or would be interested in doing so please click here for more information. If you have any questions please contact the national office on 02 6248 9970 or [email protected]’

NT President's Message - 24 November 2014
2014 has been an exciting year for AILA Members and with some great initiatives from AILA National, the new website up and running and an inspiring and interactive inaugural Festival of Landscape Architecture, we are looking forward to an action packed 2015.
There are currently many working groups nationwide looking at everything from improving CPD opportunities to Policy framework and our Awards programs. This will bring greater opportunities for the Top End LA’s to be a part of the Institute at all levels so please get involved if you find something that is for you. Above all the exciting work being done will lead to greater advocacy for Landscape Architecture as a profession and at a time when developing the North is again a top priority, AILA NT will be championing for exceptional planning and design outcomes.
