Awards for Excellence

The best in the West

Each year the UDIA WA Awards for Excellence highlight the very best projects in the urban development industry from across Western Australia. This prestigious awards program is widely regarded as the pinnacle for the urban development industry in terms of achievement in community creation, innovation and sustainability. The award winners and finalists represent the very best urban development projects delivered within Western Australia, and are reflective of the growth of best practices and industry as a whole.

Prestigious and highly sought after by the Western Australian development industry; the UDIA WA Awards for Excellence program is one of WA’s most respected and valued industry awards.

The UDIA WA Awards program is celebrating its 30 year anniversary in 2025 and winning trophies spanning three decades are displayed in boardrooms and display cabinets across the state as a tangible sign of excellence and achievement.

Expressions of Interest

For the first time this year, UDIA WA is introducing an optional Expression of Interest (EOI) process to assist the team and judging panel with forward planning.

If you are thinking about entering a project, team or individual into this year’s awards program, EOI is open until 12 March 2026, with formal nominations opening on that date.

Any EOI’s received during this period are non-binding. If you or your organisation do not make a formal nomination following the lodgment of an EOI, that is okay.

Likewise, nominations can still be made during the formal nominations period regardless of entering an EOI.

Any EOI’s received, that later translate into a formal nomination, will receive a 10% discount on the nomination fee.
