Lincoln University Landscape Architecture Exhibition

SOLGM/People Shaping Progress was a principal sponsor of the Emergence Exhibition -- an exhibition of the 2009 graduating students of the Bachelor and Masters of Landscape Architecture.

The opening night was held on 12 November at the Te Puna o Waiwhetu, the prestigious Christchurch Art Gallery, Executive Committee Member Paul Davey was there along with colleagues from Selwyn District Council -- Anne Greenup, Strategic Asset Manager and Derek Hayes, the Council’s Landscape Architect, to represent SOLGM and the rest of the local government sector.

In his speech, Paul reinforced the great work of local government in shaping the community. Local government is the custodian of its communities and they rely on our talent and skills to ensure that they have spaces that will give them a better place to live, work, and play.

Paul pointed out that all the projects exhibited at the gallery have something to do with communities and with local government.

SOLGM/People Shaping Progress has been a principal sponsor of the exhibition for two years now.
