Nominations are now open for the 2023 awards, which will recognise outstanding urban design, landscaping and architecture projects in the City of Logan.

Creative new businesses and influential community events will also be considered.

Urban planners, designers, business owners and event organisers whose efforts are contributing to the vibrant cultural lifestyle of the city are encouraged to apply.

Projects completed – or new businesses opened – since 2020 are eligible.

Economic Development Chair, Councillor Jon Raven said Council was proud to promote and endorse clever and creative urban design and lifestyle initiatives through LUDA.

He said Council’s 2022 Urban Design Framework outlined its commitment to support and guide high quality public planning across the city.

“Clever urban design is more than fancy architecture, it’s about creating vibrant, accessible spaces and events that inspire our community and enrich our lives,” Cr Raven said.

"Celebrating the talent of Logan's design and business communities is an important part of building a brighter future for everyone.

“When we recognise greatness, we encourage more of it.”

The reimagined Jimboomba Central shopping centre claimed the top gong at the 2020 LUDA (held in March 2021 because of pandemic restrictions).

The project, designed by Interlandi Mantesso Architects and developed by the Zagame Corporation and Pellicano Developments, was lauded for its strong sense of identity and generous use of space.

LUDA is sponsored by Epoca Constructions, Collins, Biggers & Paisley Lawyers, Lendlease, Brick N Pave, Bligh Tanner and Archipelago.

Nominations for this year’s awards close on Friday, March 10. More information, and the online entry form, is available at Logan Urban Design Awards 2023.

Winners will be announced at the 2023 LUDA ceremony at the Kingston Butter Factory on Wednesday, March 29.
