The Australia Award for Urban Design is the premier award for excellence and innovation in all elements of urban design in Australia. The winning project, partners and stakeholders are held in high esteem within the industry, among peers, and they are widely recognised in the media.

The Award intent and scope is broad and invites entries for design initiatives, projects, built developments, and publications, that will make a significant difference to the places, spaces, buildings and infrastructure of our cities

Entries close at 4pm on Thursday 30 July. A one-day urban design forum that will coincide with the AAUD presentation will be held in Melbourne in mid-September.

The Australia Award for Urban Design is hosted by the Planning institute Australia, with support from the Australian Institute of Architects, Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, Green Building Council of Australia, Consult Australia, the Australian Urban Design Forum, Engineers Australia and the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council.
