Emile Scheetz Hunt; MLa, AILA RLA (Principal)
"I endeavour to promote a site-specific, creative and environmentally focused landscape design approach. I believe cutting-edge technologies should be exploited wherever possible in both design documentation and construction. I enjoy working in a team to untangle and solve complex design problems, especially when collaborating with like-minded peers of complementary industries.
I consider that the success of any project is dependent on rigorous research and best outcomes are those that blur the boundaries between culture, design and ecology."

The name 'Moorilla'...
Indigenous Australian, of SE regional dialects;
- Rocky ridge / stoney outcrop close to water.
Also borrowed from the name of the rural property where my youth was spent. A family property of 40 acres with sprawling landscaped gardens, horses, dogs, livestock, Mum's award-winning Polish chickens and an abundance of native fauna. 30 mins North of Canberra, set at high elevation overlooking the Murrumbidgee River and Brindabella Ranges, this lifestyle may well have served as a catalyst for later career choices.
