Conferences are more than just industry events — they’re where ideas are exchanged, partnerships are built, and innovation in public spaces takes shape. For councils, architects, and landscape designers, conferences provide an invaluable opportunity to learn, share, and collaborate on projects that shape communities.

At Terrain Group, our National Sales Manager and team spend much of the year on the road, attending events across Australia. Each conference is a chance to connect with local councils, showcase our latest solutions, and hear directly from the people shaping outdoor spaces.

Why Industry Conferences Matter

For the outdoor infrastructure sector, conferences provide three critical benefits when connecting:
1. Knowledge sharing — exploring new ideas, trends, and technologies for public spaces.
2. Networking — building connections between councils, designers, contractors, and suppliers.
3. Community focus — ensuring infrastructure decisions reflect the needs of residents and visitors.

These events allow councils and architects to stay up to date on design standards, sustainability practices, and product innovations — ensuring the projects they deliver are practical, accessible, and future-ready.

Long Lasting Connections: Key Events & Highlights

Over the last 9 months, Terrain Group has been proud to participate in conferences across Australia, including:
• LGA Roads & Works Conference (Tailem Bend, SA) — connecting with councils on regional road and infrastructure priorities
• EPLGA Conference (Port Lincoln, SA) — engaging with local government leaders from across Eyre Peninsula
• PLA VIC/TAS Conference — sharing ideas with landscape architects and urban planners on parks and leisure spaces
• National Local Government Events — showcasing new shelter designs, restrooms, and street furniture ranges

Each event highlights the diversity of challenges and opportunities faced by communities across Australia — from coastal towns to regional centres and urban hubs.

Listening to Councils, Designers, and Communities

Perhaps the greatest value of conferences is the chance to listen. Councils and architects share insights about what their communities need most — whether it’s more accessible restrooms, durable shelters, or flexible spaces for social connection.
By engaging directly at these events, Terrain Group is able to refine our product designs, improve our services, and align our solutions with specified needs.

Sharing Knowledge & Showcasing Innovation

Conferences are also an opportunity to showcase the latest in outdoor infrastructure:
• New Shelter Designs designed in anodised aluminium with low-maintenance finishes
• Restrooms built for accessibility, durability, and design flexibility
• Seating including all accessible solutions that support the local community
Our team uses these events to demonstrate how products are evolving — incorporating sustainability, modularity, and customisation to meet community expectations

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Terrain on the Road

With the National PLA Conference not far away and fortnightly interstate visits we promise even more opportunities to connect. Terrain Group will continue to engage with councils, designers, and contractors to share expertise, listen to feedback, and collaborate on projects that enhance community spaces.
