The Australian Civic Trust Awards were held recently and we were happy to walk away with three awards across two projects. The Elder Park Rotunda restoration was acknowledged with the Colonel William Light Award for Excellence in Design. The jury citation stated that the ‘restoration was undertaken at a high standard…without compromising the cultural significance of the structure.’ The project was also the winner of the People’s Choice Award, so thank you to everyone in the public who voted.

The restoration of Ayers House was the recipient of an award in the Urban Category. The structure and exterior of the building was showing signs of age and deterioration before a four year project to return it to its former glory commenced. The result according to the jury is ‘an award winning building, beautifully conserved using the best materials and practice available whilst respecting the heritage values.’
