Australia’s Premier Sustainability Awards Return for 2025
Published
The 2025 Sustainability Awards spotlight bold ideas and future-focused design that’s reshaping Australia’s built environment for the better.
The 2025 Sustainability Awards are now open for entries, celebrating nearly two decades of leadership in sustainable design and innovation. Organised by Architecture & Design, the program continues to recognise the individuals and organisations reshaping the built environment with purpose and integrity.
Returning to Sydney Town Hall this November, the Awards shine a national spotlight on projects, products and people driving meaningful change across the construction and design sectors.
“Minimal environmental impact has to be the priority,” says Architecture & Design editor Branko Miletic. “We want to see architecture that serves the community and enhances the built environment in a positive way.”
Submissions are now open across 18 categories, covering everything from adaptive reuse and multi-residential projects to emerging designers and green material innovation.
Entries close 25 June 2025. Finalists will be announced in September ahead of the Gala on 19 November 2025.
