Australia’s Premier Property Awards
Managed by the Property Council of Australia, the Innovation & Excellence Awards is the most prestigious property awards programs in Australia.
Delivered in partnership with Rider Levett Bucknall, the Awards have been promoting excellence in design and innovation in the built environment since 1982.

With a rigorous nomination process, overseen by a panel of esteemed judges, the Property Council of Australia/Rider Levett Bucknall Innovation & Excellence Awards program culminates in the annual Gala Dinner, where more than 1,000 property professionals gather to see the industry’s best projects, people and companies crowned.
With 19 prestigious and varied award categories, the program is celebration of great feats and great people across all sectors of the property industry, with all category winners going in the running to take out the overall Rider Levett Bucknall Australian Development of the Year – the industry’s highest honour.
