Brunner Mine Site banner

Described as a site of national significance, the Brunner Mine Site remains an important part of West Coast history.  The site housed New Zealand’s most productive 19th century coal mine and many mining elements remain within the site.

Careful site planning and a real engagement with the character, people and history of the site resulted in building designs, site furniture, civil works designs and planting plans.  The result extends the character of the site without sacrificing the experience for visitors.

Earthwork Landscape Architects is a practice based in Christchurch, New Zealand with a strong commitment to its client’s needs and the landscape, a clear philosophy and a history of top quality project delivery. The practice grew out of a rural location where it expanded its expertise in site planning and public design to a broad range of professional engagement. These original strengths in logical, well planned design and a commitment to the natural environment have been retained in our work. 

The company now employs seven people, works throughout the South Island of New Zealand and overseas, across commercial, public and private projects. The practice has identified its core skills and these form the backbone of the multidisciplinary work that is now typically carried out. These core skills are site planning, landscape identity, communication and project delivery.
