Built Projects – Local and Neighbourhood Scale

The Australian Urban Design Awards were created in 1996 by then Prime Minister Paul Keating’s Urban Design Taskforce. The program recognises contemporary Australian urban design projects of the highest quality and encourages cities, towns and communities across the country to strive for best practice in all projects.
