Government House appoints Hassell for landscape masterplan

A heritage jewel with a rich history - Government House Western Australia has engaged Hassell to develop a landscape master plan to visualise how the grounds can be enjoyed for generations to come.

An arcadian landscape situated in the heart of Perth’s CBD, the grounds have been the residence of the WA Governor since the 1850s. Hassell will work closely with the Governor’s Establishment to create a framework for respectful landscape improvements in tune with the site’s Conservation Plan.

Hassell’s Anthony Brookfield said that he was looking forward to providing a vision to future-proof an already popular landscape at Government House.

“Our landscape master plan will ensure that the Governor’s Establishment has a framework to guide improvements and maintenance. Although we can agree that the grounds of Government House are already remarkable, we’re keen to develop an approach to keep it that way for generations to come,” said Anthony.
