Overview

This Award extends beyond the built form, to celebrate the integration of the natural and built environment and to foster greater human interaction.

Entries for this award category could include places with a focus on the public realm – civic/community buildings and surrounding spaces, open space, local streets and civic boulevards, town centres, and place-making ranging from the delivery of major infrastructure through to intimate scale projects.

Entries can be submitted by a developer, community group, Local Government or State Government, delivery agencies, authorities and consultants or a coalition of these entities.
