The shortlist for the 2024 Australian Urban Design Awards has been revealed – and three of our projects are on the list.

RMIT City North Social Innovation Precinct Masterplan Proposal is also in the ‘Leadership, Advocacy and Research – City and Regional Scale’ section.

Jointly convened by the Australian Institute of Architects, the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, and the Planning Institute of Australia, the Australian Urban Design Awards were established in 1996 to recognize contemporary Australian urban design projects of the highest quality and to encourage cities, towns, and communities across the country to strive for best practice in all projects.

27 entries from across Australia have been shortlisted across four categories. The winners will be announced on 18 March in Canberra at Australia Parliament House.
