The 2016 Urban Taskforce Development Excellence Awards were handed out by NSW Planning Minister, The Hon. Robert Stokes, at a packed dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel on 27 July.

Fourteen awards were given on the night in a range of categories. The big winner on the night was PACIFIC Bondi Beach as the Development of the Year. The awards are given to the developer and are assessed for design quality, financial success, innovation and development.

This landmark development is a renewal of the old Swiss Grand Hotel into a mixed-use development with residential apartments, retail and hotel apartments.
