Landscape Queensland Industries Association

What Landscape Queensland Industries Association does

Landscape Queensland Industries Association Inc., operating as "Landscape Queensland," is the peak industry body for professional landscape contractors, designers, and construction professionals in Queensland, Australia. Founded in 1983 and based in Geebung, Queensland, the association operates a member-based, non-profit model built around recurring professional membership subscriptions, with separate categories and associated benefits. The organization is leanly staffed (9 employees) and generates revenue through membership fees, event ticket and expo revenue (notably Greenscapes Expo at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, co-hosted with Expertise Events), awards-program entry fees (Construction Excellence Awards sponsored by Platinum partner Prime Concrete Developments), the Queensland Landscape Life Magazine publication, and a 17+ partner commercial ecosystem spanning supplies (Aquascape Australia, Centenary Landscaping Supplies, Plantmark, Wallum Nurseries, Greenstock Nurseries), equipment (Hastings Deering), training (Construction Skills Queensland, Landscape Skills), insurance (NQIB Insurance Brokers), and industry bodies (Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, Greenlife Industry Qld).

The association's core service portfolio centers on a member directory ("Find a Professional Member") that connects consumers with accredited landscape professionals, alongside member resources covering biosecurity, contracts, licensing, insurance, technical data, and workplace health and safety. Non-membership product lines include the Queensland Landscape Life Magazine, an annual awards cycle (with documented 2024, 2025, and 2026 programs), the Greenscapes + Green Expo, a Greener by Design content series with Jamie Durie OAM, a Landscape LinkUP jobs portal, and an education program covering soil health, biosecurity, irrigation, green walls, and workforce development. The technology substrate is a standard industry-association web platform with member login, directory, and content publication — no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, no SDK or API exposure, and no app presence. Distribution is regionally limited to Queensland, with go-to-market executed primarily through the website, organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), the magazine, and event-driven engagement (expos, workshops, awards ceremonies, networking functions).
