City Walk upgrade wins national design award

THE 2020 City Walk upgrades have been recognised in this year’s Australian Good Design Awards.

The project was named a Good Design Award winner in the Architectural Design category.   

City Renewal Authority Director Design and Place Strategy Lucy Wilson said the award highlighted the ongoing transformation of Canberra’s main pedestrian-only shopping precinct.

She said the public could expect a similarly high standard from further planned upgrades in  Garema Place and along the rest of City Walk.

Initial design work for the next stage of City Walk upgrades was about to get underway, with public feedback and suggestions to be sought in early 2024. 

The works would also complement the upcoming Garema Place upgrade, with final designs on this project also due next year.
