Rouse Hill. Town centre wins two major awards

GPT Group’s $470 million Rouse Hill Town Centre has won two major awards, one for the environment and one for urban design, namely, the People’s Choice prize at the 2008 Banksia Awards, and the Lloyd Rees Award for Urban Design, at the NSW Architecture Awards. The jury for the architecture awards said the Rouse Hill Town Centre was a new model for town-centre development in NSW. The project, in which Landcom and Lend Lease were also involved, was designed by Rise Daubney, Allen Jack & Cottier and Group GSA in association with Civitas Urban Design and Planning.
