Call for entries: 2023 Victorian Premier’s Sustainability Awards

Sustainability Victoria is inviting architects and designers to submit to the 2023 Premier's Sustainability Awards.

The more than 20-year-old awards program celebrates advancements and achievements in sustainability across six categories aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Sustainable Places and Destinations and Thriving Environments.

Two awards will be presented in each category: a Community Champion Award for individuals and small organizations, and an Industry Leader Award for medium and large organizations.

In 2022, the Bell to Moreland Level Crossing Removal Project, designed by Tract and Wood Marsh Architecture and delivered by the North West Program Alliance, received the Industry Leader Award in the Sustainable Places and Destinations category, while Euroa Arboretum, designed by Stagg Design Landscape Architecture, was winner of the Community Champion Award in the Thriving Environments category.

There will also be two overall winners: the Premier's Recognition Award and Premier's Regional Recognition Award.

"Now more than ever is the time to showcase Victoria's sustainability success stories so we can learn from each other, share this knowledge and bring about greater change collectively," said Matt Genever, interim CEO of Sustainability Victoria.

"The Premier's Sustainability Awards provides the platform to acknowledge the tremendous work going on right across the state and I look forward to celebrating the achievements of the many organisations, community groups and individuals leading the way to a sustainable future."

Entries close 30 June 2023. To submit an entry, see the Premier's Sustainability Awards website.
