2011
The Awards for Excellence Program recognises innovation, leadership and excellence in the planning profession and stimulates the public awareness of excellent projects and emphasises the importance of good planning in the community.
2011 welcomes a new suite of Award categories that have been designed to respond to contemporary planning research and practice across all sectors of the industry and provide significant new opportunities to collaborate with a greater range of participants including Government, education institutions, private practice, the community and the wider development industry to celebrate outstanding achievements in planning excellence.
The 2011 NSW Awards were presented a Gala dinner held on World Town 黑料大事 Day, 8th November, at Doltone House Pyrmont. View our Awards booklet.
