Bushmead is not only shaped by nature, it is recognised as one of Perth’s most awarded residential communities.
Surrounded by 185 hectares of retained conservation bushland and with more than 500,000 trees planted and established throughout the community, Bushmead has been carefully designed to preserve and enhance the site’s natural beauty. Thoughtful planning ensures many homes, parks and streetscapes enjoy views across the bushland and towards the Perth city skyline, creating a strong connection between residents and the surrounding landscape.
With multiple industry awards across design, sustainability and community planning, Bushmead has been acknowledged at both a state and national level for the way it has been carefully created. These accolades reflect more than just design excellence, they recognise a commitment to building a community that works in harmony with its natural surroundings.
Bushmead has received consistent recognition through the UDIA WA Awards for Excellence, one of the most respected benchmarks in the development industry.
Among its accolades, Bushmead South was awarded the UDIA WA Residential Subdivision Award for Excellence in 2025 and 2019, highlighting the strength of its planning, design and integration with the surrounding landscape.
The community has also been recognised with the UDIA WA Environmental Excellence Award, celebrating its leadership in sustainable development and environmental responsibility.
These awards place Bushmead among a select group of developments in Western Australia that have been recognised for delivering both quality and long-term vision.
A defining part of Bushmead’s success is its commitment to sustainability, which has also been recognised at the highest level.
Bushmead was awarded the UDIA EnviroDevelopment Chairman’s Choice Award, a significant achievement that highlights innovation, environmental leadership and a holistic approach to community design.
This is further supported by its 5-Leaf EnviroDevelopment accreditation, placing Bushmead among a limited number of communities in Western Australia to achieve this level of recognition.
These awards are a reflection of the many initiatives embedded throughout the estate, from waterwise design and material selection to the preservation of native bushland.
Bushmead’s award-winning design is grounded in a simple principle, working with the natural environment rather than against it.
Guided by the vision “Shaped by Nature”, the community has been carefully planned to retain extensive existing trees, protect native vegetation and preserve the natural beauty of the site. More than 185 hectares of conservation bushland have been retained, helping create a community where nature remains at the centre of everyday life.
This approach has been a key factor in its industry recognition and creates a neighbourhood that feels established, connected and deeply tied to its surroundings. Streets, parks and homes have been thoughtfully positioned to maximise bushland outlooks and create a stronger connection to the surrounding environment.
Recognition extends beyond planning and sustainability to the spaces residents use every day.
Archerfield Park has received national recognition for its landscape design, highlighting the quality of Bushmead’s public spaces and their role in supporting active, connected lifestyles. Alongside Archerfield Park, Bushmead features multiple public open spaces and eleven kilometres of walking trails woven throughout the community, helping residents stay connected to nature and each other.
Spaces such as Giant Park, Rushmore Green and Leeuwin Gardens have been thoughtfully designed to cater to a range of ages and lifestyles, with nature play areas, picnic and BBQ facilities, open grassed spaces and shaded areas that encourage outdoor living and community connection.
These spaces are designed to do more than look good, they create opportunities for connection, recreation and relaxation, adding to the overall appeal of living in Bushmead.
While awards highlight the quality of the development, their real value is seen in everyday life.
