Josh Byrne & Associates (JBA) provides consulting and design services with an integrated approach to landscape architecture and urban design, built environment sustainability, communications and engagement.

The JBA team comprises landscape architects, urban designers, engineering, environmental science, project management and communications professionals. This unique combination enables JBA to deliver innovative, evidenced-based design outcomes incorporating project intricacies, addressing a client's aspirations, and responding to community needs.

JBA designs dynamic playspaces incorporating a variety of play experiences including adventure, nature, educational, water, music, sensory and unstructured. Providing diverse, evidence-based play experiences promotes emotional, physical, cognitive and social development. Incorporating evidence-based play design enhances the play experience to improve outcomes for health and wellbeing and academic attainment. Evidence demonstrates outdoor learning enhances educational outcomes and JBA looks for opportunities to create outdoor learning experiences to support the curriculum. Stakeholder engagement and co-design are critical in developing a response that reinforces the educational approach and philosophy of the client.    

The JBA team believes playspaces should provide play opportunities for a diverse range of abilities. Diversity in equipment and spaces is critical in physically challenging youth and creating inclusive environments for youth with additional physical or emotional needs. 

JBA has a strong environmental and sustainability philosophy, preferencing natural, local and re -urposed materials into their designs, while incorporating water and cost efficient design practices.

JBA is highly experienced in the design and construction superintendence of urban landscapes. Particularly public spaces, infill developments and ecologically sensitive areas needing environmentally responsive design.

Depending on client and project requirements, JBA can also provide supporting consultancy across built environment sustainability, communications and engagement or work with other consultants fulfilling these roles as part of a broader project team.
