“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.
Winners in eligible categories will compete at the 2025 Australian Housing Awards to be held during May in Melbourne next year.
