Richard Roach Jewell Award for Enduring Architecture

The Richard Roach Jewell Award for Enduring Architecture is an architecture prize presented annually by the West Australian Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) since the inaugural award was presented in 2015.

The award recognises significant, long lasting and innovative architecture with usually more than 25 years passed since the completion of construction.

The Award recognises achievement for the design of buildings of outstanding merit, which have remained important as high quality works of architecture when considered in contemporary cultural, social, economic and environmental contexts in the state of Western Australia.

In 2015 the restored Council House won both the state and national award, 52 years after the building was completed in 1963.
