CELEBRATING OUR 2024 AWARD WINNERS AND COMMENDATION RECIPIENTS!

On the evening of Friday 8 November 2024, we gathered together to honour and applaud the recipients of the 2024 Queensland Award for Planning Excellence, along with those who received commendations.

Our Gala dinner at VOCO Brisbane in the Grand Chelsea Ballroom was nothing short of spectacular! The night was alive with unforgettable moments, joyous applause, a spirit of togetherness, and vibrant dancing – a truly unforgettable experience!

You can now download the commemorative book, consolidating comprehensive details about all Award for Excellence Winners and Commendations in one convenient place.
