Landscape works for the Montville club — new driveway and carpark, relocated soccer field, spectator planting and stormwater — supporting a full sporting-precinct upgrade.
Range United sit high on the Blackall Range at Montville, sharing their ground with a junior field, tennis courts and a busy weekend crowd. The upgrade brief was to reorganise how vehicles, players and spectators arrive without giving up any playing area.
The concept re-levels the existing gravel entry into a new asphalt driveway and turf carpark, relocates the main soccer field to line up with the junior field, and lifts the spectator edges with new shade trees to ten metres, clumping groundcovers to half a metre and a new high fence screen to the neighbours.
A new stormwater pipe with headwalls, relocated bollards, a new entry gate and tightened crossover let the club run bigger match-days and events on the same footprint, with a landscape that reads as one settled sporting precinct rather than a patchwork of add-ons.

Landscape architecture is the design of outdoor places — from a private garden to a whole town centre. Here's what a landscape architect actually does, and how the discipline differs from landscaping and garden design.
