Three 2026 Australian Good Design Awards for Digital Garden

Over the past few weeks, we've shared the stories behind each of our award-winning projects. As we wrap up the celebrations, we're taking a moment to recognise all three and the people who helped bring them to life.
Each project presented a very different design challenge, but all three share a common goal: creating thoughtful, accessible and engaging digital experiences that make a genuine difference for the people using them.
Three projects, three awards
Inner West Council – A better digital experience for the community
Working closely with Inner West Council, we redesigned and rebuilt its website to make essential services and information easier for residents to access.
From user research and information architecture through to UX/UI design and Drupal development, the project focused on creating a more intuitive, accessible and community-centred digital experience.

Bradfield City Centre – Bringing Australia's newest city to life
Our work with the Bradfield Development Authority involved creating a digital gateway for Australia's newest city.
Combining engaging visual design, interactive storytelling and a flexible Drupal platform, the website communicates Bradfield's ambitious vision while helping investors, industry and the wider community explore its future.

Sydney Executive Plus – Rethinking executive learning
Developed in collaboration with the University of Sydney Business School, Sydney Executive Plus brings together engaging design and sophisticated platform functionality to support a new approach to executive education.
The platform makes discovering and accessing professional learning easier, combining intuitive content navigation with the capabilities needed to deliver learning at scale.

A shared achievement
While the projects are very different, each reflects what we value at Digital Garden: understanding our clients' challenges, putting users at the centre of design decisions and creating digital experiences that are both useful and engaging.
These awards are also a recognition of the collaboration behind every successful project.
A big thank you to our clients at Inner West Council, the Bradfield Development Authority and the University of Sydney Business School for their trust, enthusiasm and partnership.
And, of course, to everyone at Digital Garden who contributed their ideas, creativity and expertise along the way.
Three awards, three great collaborations and a wonderful result for the Digital Garden team. 💚
