The UDIA National Awards for Excellence 2023 held in Perth have seen 16 developers honoured for their innovation and design, with a Queensland residential community development taking out the top gong.

The coveted top honour for Project of the Year at the UDIA National Awards for Excellence 2023 has gone to a $4 billion Sunshine Coast residential community development.

Australian developer AVID Property Group’s flagship community, Harmony, also claimed the National Award for Masterplanned Communities.

AVID Property Group General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said the project would eventually be home to 13,000 people.

“Central to Harmony’s success was the early meticulous planning and project visioning the AVID team undertook to map out every aspect of the master planned community, from the land sizes and configurations to road widths, landscaping, transport links, greenspaces and amenities,’’ Mr Harper said.
