Nominations open for the 2024 Design and Development Awards
From apartments to urban art, the biennial Awards have highlighted innovative and imaginative design in Port Phillip since 1998.
Port Phillip Council Mayor Heather Cunsolo, who is an architect and DADA jury panellist, said the Awards promote quality development while setting a strong example for the industry.
“We’re calling on architects and building designers to nominate their projects to help us celebrate their work in designing our beautiful City spaces,” Cr Cunsolo said.
“We’re always impressed with the high-quality nominations, and we look forward to seeing the newest additions which contribute to Port Phillip being the best place to live, work and play.”
Previous award winners saw the Victorian Pride Centre earn top honours in the Public and Institutional category in 2022, while the Van Haandel Group’s Stokehouse won the Sustainability category.
