An iconic Western Australian landmark has claimed the top prize at the 2025 Landscape Industries Association of Western Australia (LIAWA) Awards of Excellence. Landscape Elements was named Landscape of the Year for the exceptional redevelopment of The Oval, Subi East.

High standards

Judges hailed the project as “...an exemplar public realm that celebrates Aboriginal heritage, honours football history and fosters community connection”. Sustainability was a key focus, with recycled materials from the former Subi Oval and a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating creating a resilient and culturally rich landscape.

The redevelopment features precise earthworks and retaining walls, stormwater retention systems and swales, durable steel shade structures, paving, steps and accessible pathways built to endure heavy community use. New play and sporting facilities showcase craftsmanship, while careful retention of mature trees and heritage seating reflects a respect for the site's history.
