Peet’s Golden Bay community in Western Australia and Flagstone community in Queensland have received industry recognition at the Property Council of Australia Innovation & Excellence Awards and UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence 2026.
Our Golden Bay community received one of the industry’s highest honours, winning a national award for Best Masterplanned Community at the Property Council of Australia Innovation & Excellence Awards.
Located within the City of Rockingham in Perth’s southern corridor, Golden Bay has transformed a coastal landholding into an attainable, self-sustaining community defined by affordability, liveability and community connection.
A defining quality of Golden Bay is its delivery of genuine coastal affordability at scale, with 81 per cent of settled lots meeting affordability benchmarks. At the same time, the introduction of premium Homestead Lots – ranging up to 2,000sqm – demonstrates the estate’s capacity to serve a broad range of buyers and lifestyle aspirations without compromising on quality or character.
Environmental performance is also embedded throughout, with water sensitive urban design, native landscaping and integrated stormwater management supporting long-term sustainability outcomes across the estate.
Delivered in partnership with DevelopmentWA, the award recognises Golden Bay’s success in balancing affordability, choice and sustainability to create a coastal community that delivers enduring value for residents.
In addition to this achievement, Golden Bay was also named WA Development of the Year, an award that recognises the state’s most outstanding development, project or refurbishment.
Flagstone was also recognised at the UDIA Queensland Awards for Excellence, receiving the Masterplanned Community Award. This award acknowledges excellence in the planning, design and delivery of communities that provide outstanding amenity, housing choice, connectivity and a strong sense of belonging.
As one of South-East Queensland’s fastest growing communities, Flagstone is creating a future city where people, places and opportunity come together. Surrounded by natural bushland while offering the convenience of modern living, the community has been thoughtfully designed to provide residents with connection, community and choice.
At the heart of Flagstone’s success is its strong focus on community. Residents are empowered to play an active role in shaping the community’s future, creating a sense of belonging that continues to strengthen as Flagstone grows.
These achievements are a testament to the dedication and expertise of our teams, partners and consultants. Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing these projects to life, and thank you to UDIA Queensland and Property Council Australia for recognising the positive impact these communities are creating for residents today and for years to come.
