Guests were entertained by comedian and impersonator Ben Price – Australia’s Got Talent finalist – and local Brisbane band Odyssey.
The night was presented by Landscape Queensland in association with AWX – “Partners in People”.
The top honour, the Queensland Construction of the Year Award, was won by Eureka Landscapes for their Gainsborough Greens Recreational Hub project situated at Pimpama. Eureka also took out the Million Dollar Plus category with their Brightwater Boulevard Project situated at Mountain Creek.
