UDIA (SA) Executive Director Terry Walsh said the major award winners have been recommended for judging at the National UDIA Awards for Excellence to be announced at the UDIA National Congress in Sydney in March next year.
“South Australia’s development industry is one of the strongest in the country in terms of expertise and innovation, so these awards provide a great opportunity to formally acknowledge the high-performing companies behind the state’s most outstanding development projects,” said Mr Walsh.
“The standard of entries received this year was extremely high and covered a broad range of disciplines that showcases the best techniques and practices in urban development in SA.”
Established in 1971, the UDIA (SA) represents the interests of the development industry in
South Australia in collaboration with all levels of government. It represents all sections of the urban development sector, including developers, councils and service providers such as engineers, planners and surveyors.
As the fifth largest contributor to output in SA, the property development industry employs 56,000 people or 7% of the state’s total workforce, and accounts for almost $9 billion or 12% of Gross State Product.
