UDIA Victoria Award – Masterplanned Communities Proudly Partnered by

Projects must have a coherent design with a relevant range of facilities within the development. While the development can be predominantly residential, civic, recreational, entertainment, tourist, commercial or industrial, or a combination of any of these primary uses, the development must be developed to stage where tangible benefits of a master planned approach can be demonstrated.

The project must be large enough to sufficiently demonstrate that a sense of community has been created within the site. For example: Project design has facilitated a sense of community within the project area, even acting as a place attracting people outside of the project area to form part of the community.
