Completed in 2005, the Upper Coomera State College was a new Education QueenslandP-12 school which was designed and constructed as a three staged development with stage 1 being the junior and middle schools; stage 2 the senior school and stage 3 a Performing Arts Centre. PDT undertook the landscape design within the three stages. Our brief required a design to create a distinct landscape feel for each of the three stages. This was done using a varying palette of predominantly native trees, shrubs and grasses.
