“Congratulations to all the winners, particularly those from regional areas such as Wagga,” said Greg Weller, HIA Executive Director ACT & Southern NSW.

“The HIA housing awards recognise building, design and professionalism across forty-seven categories, which gives consumers a great insight into who are the leaders in their field.
“Whether you are thinking about a new build or renovation, and across a range of budgets, housing awards winners are a great signpost to professionals that you should be talking to first,” concluded Mr Weller.
A full list of winners accessed images and descriptions for the 2024 HIA-CSR Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom awards can accessed through the HIA website.
The ACT & Southern NSW regional awards take in entries from the South Coast, Riverina, Southern Tablelands, Southwest Slopes, Snowy Mountains and Canberra.
