About ACLA Consultants
ACLA Consultants is a Melbourne based landscape architectural practice leading the way in the delivery of creative public spaces and well considered outdoor environments.
Collaboration
ACLA’s success and aspirations are premised on a commitment to engage in a collaborative work environment with each client, and by understanding the specific requirements, constraints and opportunities of each project. Final designed outcomes are based on rigorous site assessment and processes that consider client and community needs paving the way for greater acceptance and ownership of external spaces.
Acquired Knowledge
As a team of skilled landscape architects and professionals, we are constantly researching new technologies, materials and design attitudes. This enables the practice to make informed decisions, which ultimately lead to sustainable, innovative and practical design solutions.

We establish a respectful and sound-working environment with clients focusing on decision-making processes by mutual agreement. Our recognition is also reflected in our long-standing and ever increasing client base.
