Pacific Dunes which sits on the site of a former sand quarry is a golf course, residential resort and community. It features an 18 hole championship golf course, 150 fairway dwellings, 55 tourist villas, 200 hillside lots, as well as associated clubhouses and community facilities.

Citta Property Group has created a smart, practical and ecologically sound vision for the development, and has reclaimed the land for public use. It preserved pockets of land as koala habitat. Its unique dwellings are characterized by strong simple roof forms, optimum sun exposure and private courtyards combined with the natural beauty of the surrounding forest areas and lakes.

What the judges said:

“The mix of housing proposed appeals to a wide market while the constructed housing is well planned, affordable and provides a well integrated community. The complemented golf course sits well within housing and is enhanced by an extensive lake system.”
