Street Furniture Australia joins Landscape Foundation of Australia as a Founding Partner

Street Furniture Australia is proud to announce a new partnership with the Landscape Foundation of Australia, as their first Founding Partner.

The Foundation is a newly formed not-for-profit dedicated to championing the protection, restoration, enhancement and sustainable management of natural environments in Australian cities and towns.

With nearly 90% of Australians now living in cities and townships, the Foundation is committed to halting the decline of natural environments and restoring a sustainable relationship between people and nature, to ensure their mutual health and survival.

The visionaries behind the Foundation – founding directors Linda Corkery, Noel Corkery, Catherin Bull AM and Chris Champion – share the belief that environmental degradation can be reversed through high quality planning, design and management practices.

Through grant-making and facilitation, the Foundation will fund research to inform decision-makers, award scholarships and fellowships to build capacity, and support projects undertaken by community groups.

Street Furniture Australia’s Head of Marketing and Innovation, June Lee Boxsell, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Landscape Foundation of Australia, which we see as an opportunity to further our support of healthy and enjoyable public spaces for many generations to come.”

Landscape Foundation of Australia Founder and Director Linda Corkery said, “There’s much work to be done around the issues of urban sustainability and protecting and enhancing natural environments. Street Furniture Australia shares our values around these issues and both organisations recognise that finding solutions must engage bright minds and diverse perspectives.

“We thank Street Furniture Australia for their support, and are excited about the collaborations that can flow from this relationship.”
