At  last  week’s  Urban  Development  Institute of Australia NSW Awards for Excellence, Landcom was awarded the prestigious Excellence in Masterplanned Residential  Lifestyle  Development for Prince Henry at Little Bay and best Concept Design for its Bungarribee Precinct project at Doonside.

Landcom  and  its  partners  also  received  commendations for high density housing and residential development: Lend  Lease  and GPT Group in partnership with Landcom and Department of planning for the Rise Apartments at The New Rouse Hill; and Cox Richardson Architects & Planners for Greenway Views.

Managing  director  of  Landcom,  Sean  O’Toole  said  the awards confirmed Landcom’s standing as a leader in the field of urban development.

“This  was  an  outstanding achievement for Landcom in its drive to deliver visionary urban design for new residential developments in NSW on behalf of the NSW Government,” said Mr O’Toole.

“At Prince Henry Landcom’s vision was to create a spectacular masterplanned coastal  community  that  would  showcase  the  best in sustainability. The site’s  rich  history,  heritage,  architecture  and  unique geography were significant aspects of the master plan.

Our  proposal  for  the  Bungarribee  Precinct  Project  reflects Landcom’s commitment  to  creating  sustainable  communities  that  deliver both high quality  residential  development  and  environmental outcomes. The concept design  focuses  on  the need to integrate a new residential community with the   character  and  ecosystems  of  the  adjacent  Parklands  Bungarribee Precinct.

These awards build our reputation as an innovative industry leader in major urban renewal projects, environmental sustainability and the development of complex sites.

We  are proud to work in partnerships with developers to create sustainable futures for our communities and the people who live and work in them,” said Mr O’Toole.
