Acknowledgements

The LFA Green Infrastructure Practice Guide has been prepared as a professional resource to support councils, public asset owners, consultants and practitioners in the preparation of Green Infrastructure Asset Management Plans.

Authorship

The Practice Guide was authored and compiled by Chris Champion, Director, Landscape Foundation of Australia, drawing on asset management practice, green infrastructure management principles, local government experience and the Landscape Foundation of Australia’s wider professional networks.

The Guide has also benefited from review, discussion and input from LFA directors, contributors, peer reviewers and practitioners with experience in landscape architecture, green infrastructure, asset management, local government and related disciplines.

Landscape Foundation of Australia ownership

AI-assisted drafting support

AI-assisted tools were used to support research, structuring, drafting, editing and refinement of parts of the Practice Guide and its online platform. These tools assisted with organisation, wording, checking, alternative presentation approaches and web-platform migration tasks.

AI-assisted tools were used under human direction, review and editorial control. They did not determine the Guide’s methodology, professional position, source selection or final content.

Professional responsibility and review

The Practice Guide remains a human-authored and professionally reviewed LFA resource. Professional judgement, methodology, interpretation, final wording and publication responsibility remain with the author and the Landscape Foundation of Australia.

The Guide is intended to support professional practice and decision-making. Users should apply the guidance in the context of their own organisation, asset class, data maturity, governance requirements and local conditions.
