Notes:

This would include developments known as dual occupancy, villas (one storey), townhouses (2-3 storeys), terrace housing or the like, whether attached or detached.
- These projects are generally classified as Class 1a buildings under the Building Code of Australia. Eligible projects may also be Class 2 buildings due solely to the inclusion of a shared underground car parking area.
- Entrants in this category are eligible to enter an individual dwelling in the Townhouse/Villa of the Year category.
