The jury citation for your project reads:

The Cairns Neighbourhood Centre stands as a regional benchmark for sustainable architecture that seamlessly integrates environmental responsibility with community-focused design. Embracing passive design principles, locally sourced materials, and innovative energy strategies, the project exemplifies a commitment to ecological stewardship while fostering a welcoming and resilient civic space. Carefully attuned to place, its adaptable spaces encourage social interaction and inclusivity, reinforcing the role of architecture in strengthening community cohesion. This commendation celebrates the centre as a positive contribution to sustainable design, one that not only minimises environmental impact but also enriches the experience of place, demonstrating how architecture can harmonise with nature while serving the needs of the people it supports.
