Michael O’Brien National President, Property Council of Australia Managing Director – QIC Real EstateMessage from Rider Levett Bucknall
The Property Council of Australia/Rider Levett Bucknall Innovation & Excellence Awards is a celebration of the industry’s best projects, developments, people and companies. Finalists are vying for one of 19 prestigious award categories with the overall winner crowned Rider Levett Bucknall Australian Development of the Year.
The awards champion the people who show up each day to create a strong and thriving property industry. The superior examples of iconic projects showcased contribute to cities that are liveable, prosperous and vibrant, and communities where people love to live and work.
Last year, RLB was privileged to play a role in delivering Billbergia’s Wentworth Point Town Centre. This spectacular project was a worthy winner of the Rider Levett Bucknall Australian Development of the Year award for its industry-leading transformation of an isolated industrial site into a vibrant residential community.
We are, once again, pleased to recognise the role that public art plays in creating brilliant spaces, enriching and enlivening our cities and suburbs, with the Rider Levett Bucknall Award for Best Public Art Project.
It is also fantastic that so many in our industry are now prioritising the application of sustainability practices that reduce a project or existing building’s eco footprint.
To those in the running for the first time: you are among an elite group of gamechangers within this invigorating industry. It’s wonderful to have you join us. And to past finalists: welcome back. I hope 2023 is the year you’ve been waiting for.
We extend our thanks and appreciation to the Property Council of Australia for partnering with Rider Levett Bucknall for more than four decades to deliver the Innovation & Excellence Awards.
We also thank the Property Council for its continued advocacy of an industry that builds prosperity, creates jobs and shapes the future of our cities, towns and communities.
Congratulations to the 2023 finalists and winners for your commitment to positive social impact, diversity and meaningful stakeholder engagement. Thank you for playing your part in bringing imagination to life and creating a better tomorrow for millions of Australians.

• Business or Industrial Parks
• Residential Development
• Government Leadership
• Heritage & Adaptive Reuse

In 2006 our awards program evolved once more, rebranded as the Innovation & Excellence Awards to celebrate leading-edge practice and inspire innovation within our industry.
• Master Planned Communities
• Mixed Use Development
• Public Buildings
• Sustainable Developments
As Australian cities continue to expand, our industry responds to myriad challengers — from delivering affordable housing to supporting Australians as they age, and from improving the environmental sustainability or buildings or creating a rich and diverse workforce.
As a result, a number of new categories have been introduced.
In 2007, we began to recognise our next generation of talent through Future Leader of the Year Award. In 2010, the Retirement Living and office Workplace categories were introduced, and the following year the Sustainable Development category was expanded to recognise the different approaches taken on new and existing buildings.
In 2012, the Award for Innovation first gained its moment in the spotlight and has since transformed into two awards: one for Project Innovation and another for Development Innovation.
The Award for Best affordable Housing Development was presented in 2015, while the Award for Diversity, introduced in 2016, has been split into two categories in 2017 in response to the number of entries.
In 2022, the Award for Best Public Art Project was revived to commemorate the 40-year celebration of the awards and the longstanding partnership with Rider Levett Bucknall and the Property Council.
While the categories and number of entrants have grown, and the quality and sophistication of the entries have increased, the underlying aim of the awards remains the same: to support and showcase the developments creating brilliant places for all Australians.
In 1982, as the property industry gathered to present its first annual awards for excellence and innovation, many of the buildings that now shape our skylines, bring life to our cities and energy to local economies were still distant dreams or sketches on the drawing board.

intimate scaled spaces changing the site in a vibrant ‘Urban Village’ with activated street edges. Within the site the public are encouraged to activate the space and the ambience is softed by the inclusion of green zones.
The project was master-planned as a family of buildings within a park environment. This family of buildings used a similar architectural rectangular language and a neutral palette of colours but the same materiality. The buildings aesthetically reflected each other whilst still expressing their individuality.
The Metricon Building located at 209 Robina Town Centre Drive, Robina was designed to Metricon’s requirements with functionality and flexibility front of mind. The development team worked closely with the Metricon fitout architect to design their interior space accordingly as well as interior design spaces for the remaining tenancies. The building is built to last with long lifespan materials that were carefully selected to reflect the quality and respectability befitting the company’s reputation.
