A special thank you goes to our MC for the evening, accomplished landscape architect and TV personality, Brendan Moar. Brendan's energy and expertise added a unique spark to the Gala, making it an unforgettable experience for all.

 NSW's Favourite Urban Place announcement

The night was full of surprises as Lackey St in Summer Hill was crowned as NSW's favourite urban place for 2023. At the eleventh hour, this charming street stole the title from second and third place winners King St, Newtown and Majors Bay Rd, Concord. This hotly contested public poll was a testament to the passion and love people have for our favourite high streets!

 A Room Full of Urban Designers

One of the biggest joys of the evening was witnessing a room filled with urban designers. The Gala was truly an event by us, for us, and about us!
