About Sunshine Coast, QLD

The Sunshine Coast is a peri-urban region in South East Queensland, Australia. It is the district defined in 1967 as "the area contained in the Shires of Landsborough, Maroochy and Noosa, but excluding Bribie Island". Located 100 km (62 mi) north of the centre of Brisbane in South East Queensland, on the Coral Sea coastline, its urban area spans approximately 60 km (37 mi) of coastline and hinterland from Pelican Waters to Tewantin. The area has several coastal hubs at Caloundra, Kawana Waters, Maroochydore and Noosa Heads. Nambour and Maleny have developed as primary commercial centres for the hinterland. Since 2014, the Sunshine Coast district has been split into two local government areas, the Sunshine Coast Region and the Shire of Noosa, which administer the southern and northern parts of the Sunshine Coast respectively. As of June 2021, with an estimated urban population of 398,840, the Sunshine Coast is the fifth most populated area in Queensland and the 9th most populous in the country. The population of the area has grown steadily at an average annual rate of 2.4% year-on-year over the five years to 2018. == History == The earliest residents of the Sunshine Coast were the indigenous Gubbi Gubbi and Wakka Wakka people. The territory of the Kabi includes about 21,000 square kilometres (8,200 sq mi) along the coastline from the 27th parallel northward to the mouth of the Burrum River.

This question is often compared to "How long is a piece of string?" but we strive to offer a helpful starting point on landscape designs, generally they start at $6,000 plus GST. This initial cost serves as a baseline from which more tailored and specific pricing can be developed based on your unique needs and the specifics of your property in The Sunshine Coast.

Landscape design is a nuanced and detailed process, influenced by a wide range of variables that can affect the overall cost. We strive for transparency in our pricing to ensure you have a clear understanding from the outset.

Tailored Pricing Approach

To accurately assess the full scope of your project and its associated costs, a site visit is essential. During this visit, we will discuss your vision and objectives for the space. Following our assessment and discussions, we will present a detailed design fee proposal. This proposal will reflect both your aspirations and the practical requirements necessary to bring your landscape to life.

At Exterior Architecture, we are committed to delivering high-quality landscape designs efficiently. We understand the importance of a timely process, but also recognize the need for thoroughness to ensure the best outcomes for your project. Initial Site Visit and Measurements The design process begins with an on-site visit where we take detailed measurements of your property. This initial step is crucial as it lays the groundwork for the entire project. Design Completion Following the site visit, we aim to complete your landscape design within four to six weeks. This timeframe allows us to carefully consider all components of your design, ensuring that no detail is overlooked and that the final product meets our high standards and your expectations.
At Exterior Architecture, the extent of your involvement in the design process is flexible and entirely up to your preferences. Your Role in the Design Process You have the freedom to determine how engaged you want to be. Whether you prefer to provide initial input and then leave the details to us, or you wish to be closely involved at every step, we accommodate your preferred level of participation. Benefits of Both Approaches Hands-Off: Entrust us with your vision, and we will use our expertise to create a design that aims to exceed your expectations. This approach allows us the creative freedom to deliver innovative and surprising elements that enhance your space. Collaborative: If you have a clear vision and specific requirements, we welcome your active participation. Your direct involvement ensures that the final design truly reflects your desires and is a space that you will be excited to use and enjoy for years to come. Our Goal No matter how involved you choose to be, our ultimate goal is to create a landscape that you love. We strive to design spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional, ensuring they meet your needs and preferences.
We recognize that the terms "general landscaping" and "landscape architecture" might be used interchangeably, but they refer to very distinct aspects of creating outdoor spaces. General Landscaping General landscaping focuses on the implementation and maintenance of a garden or outdoor area. This includes:
  • Planting: Selecting and planting various types of foliage.
  • Hardscaping: Constructing elements like paths, patios, and walls.
  • Irrigation: Installing systems to ensure efficient water distribution.
  • Maintenance: Regular upkeep to preserve the garden’s aesthetic and health.
Landscapers typically execute the practical aspects of a garden's design, which may involve following a plan laid out by a landscape architect or working from a more straightforward design provided by the property owner. Landscape Architecture Landscape architecture is a more comprehensive and professional field that involves:
  • Design Principles: Utilizing architectural and design theory to create cohesive and functional outdoor spaces.
  • Site Analysis: Evaluating the land’s characteristics and potential constraints.
  • Ecology and Sustainability: Incorporating ecological awareness and sustainable practices into designs.
  • Grading and Drainage: Planning the terrain to manage water flow and soil erosion effectively.
  • Overall Functionality: Ensuring the space meets the needs of its users in terms of both aesthetics and utility.
Landscape architects are trained professionals, often required to be licensed, who create detailed designs that balance creativity with technical expertise. These designs are then executed by landscapers.
