Site options
We have chosen 2 hypothetical sites and development scales for the competition:
- Urban metro development site for at least 100 residents (a ‘medium’ to ‘large’ development). The site has an area of 5,000 m2 and we anticipate a multi-storey development in whole or part.
- Regional town development site for 60 residents (a ‘small’ development). The site is 12,000 m2 and may require some 2-storey development.
You can choose to enter a design proposal for either site or for both.
You can submit multiple separate entries. We will allocate a different submission ID for each submission. You can use different team members for your separate submissions.
Competition brief
Your brief is to design an innovative residential aged care development for the future that adopts the Principles and Guidelines and delivers on the design aspirations. Strong entries will show how good design can improve quality of life and wellbeing for older people by providing homes that give residents privacy and control, a sense of belonging, and connection to family, friends and the community.
Submission requirements
Your submission must include:
- Minimum three (3) x A1 and maximum four (4) x A1 presentation boards
- The ATM submission form (lodged online)
- A drawing diagram describing your desired arrangement and sequence for viewing the submitted boards
- The survey response (lodged online) - this is a short survey that will take around 5-10 minutes to complete. Survey responses will not be considered by the jury.
Entrants must provide a soft (digital) and hard copy of their submission.

There is no standard file-naming format for the soft copy submissions. Name electronic files in a clear and logical way. Include your submission ID in the file name, but do not include any name(s) or other words that will identify your team.
Hard copy
Your hard copy submission must include:
