OCULUS Associate Director Keith Stead has been appointed a Subject Matter Expert to the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA) Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee. It is one of six committees that sit directly under the AILA Board, supporting their Strategic Plan.

The CPD committee’s key priorities for 2025–26 are:

  • Evolve AILA’s CPD curriculum and delivery, ensuring programs meet current and emerging needs.
  • Expand career-attraction initiatives to engage students and early-career practitioners.
  • Partner with accredited education providers to foster a supportive policy environment.

Keith looks forward to working alongside other AILA volunteers and employees to support the growth and development of current and future landscape architects.

Passionate about education and life-long learning, Keith has previously served on AILA’s CPD Committee and is currently serving on the AILA NSW executive team.
