The award categories reward excellence in relation to design, marketing, presentation and food retailing, with the winner announced at the annual Retail Awards Gala Dinner held at the Royal Inter- national Convention Centre in Brisbane last week.

“The judges were particularly impressed with City Lane’s modern and urban design, which features well- considered material selections and are fitting to the precinct’s latenight trade,” he said.

“City Lane is remarkably well maintained and clearly deserves the Excellence in Presentation Award.

“Lancini Property and Development have done an outstanding job in delivering this exceptional destination to the Townsville community.”
