Ngakoroa School
Ngakoroa, New Zealand
Ngakoroa School required a thoughtfully designed landscape that balanced durability, safety, and creativity. Murphy Landscapes worked closely with project stakeholders to deliver a functional, low-maintenance outdoor environment.
Project Overview

This project involved the design and construction of a cohesive outdoor environment tailored to a modern primary school setting. The landscape was carefully planned to support accessibility, student flow, and varied play opportunities, while remaining robust enough to withstand daily use.

Working within a live school environment, the team prioritised safety, clear communication, and efficient staging to ensure minimal disruption to staff and students throughout the build
