The vision to create a "place of cherished nature and ecological wonder" has been bestowed a national honour.
The Sunshine Coast Ecological Park Master Plan took out the Landscape Architecture Award for Landscape Planning at the recent Australian Institute of Landscape Architects national awards.
It follows the ecological park taking out two state awards earlier this year.
In the jury citation, the judging panel applauded the innovative strategy to transform 65 hectares of former pasture into a place for our community to connect with nature and each other.
"The plan harmoniously blends human activities with ecological restoration and the celebration of cultural heritage, pioneering a new standard for cohabitation," the judges said.
