Designed by Reset Urban, Taurarua Judges Bay in Parnell, Auckland has won an international award for landscape design – out of nine countries and 27 entries for the Asia Pacific region – just days after winning a national award of excellence from the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects.

The International Federation of Landscape Architects (Asia Pacific Region) Awards judges applauded Judges Bay as a “stunning example of coastal restoration that provides for extensive public re-engagement with the water” and awarded it to the Merit award in the landscape design category during IFLA50. The other two awards went to projects in China.
