About the NSW Regional Architecture Awards Division boundaries
The 2026 Regional Awards presents a new, combined model of regional architecture recognition. Reflecting the size and breadth of the state, the single program will be split into three divisions, with Northern, Central, and Southern divisions active. Each division will have a jury, with separate presentation days and site tours also in place.Â
2026 divisions are displayed below, with the grey area indicating LGA’s not eligible for entry into the regional program.
Entrants of every division will enter via the same entry portal.
