Overview
This award recognises low-density residential development, primarily land subdivision. Projects may comprise single storey, double storey detached, semi-detached and/or small-lot housing with private open space. Projects would not include a comprehensive range of facilities within the development but should have established a satisfactory relationship and integration with facilities nearby. Developments should be substantially completed. Stages of a ‘Masterplanned Development’ are not eligible.
There are two awards in this category, the size of the project or stage within the project will dictate which of the following subcategories the project may enter:
- Residential development of more than 250 lots
- Residential development of 250 lots or fewer.
