• You must hold a developer level UDIA Victoria membership in FY25 to enter your project into this category.
• It is required that your project must be substantially developed by the time of judging or at least a component or stage of the project is substantially developed.

Completion Criteria for UDIA Judging

To adequately judge an entry for the UDIA Awards Program, entrants must provide to the Judging Panel sufficient evidence of the completion of a significant part of the project.

For example, single stage projects must show 40% of the development completed and sold or available for sale. Multistage projects must have at least one full stage completed and sold or available for sale, and other stages under development.

Projects entered into this category should be essentially complete.
