Melbourne Design Review Panel (MDRP)
The City of Melbourne is seeking to appoint creative experts identified for their skills, expertise and record of achievement in fields relevant to design and development to become members of a newly established Melbourne Design Review Panel (MDRP) – an initiative of the Design Excellence Program.
The MDRP will comprise a small core group of experts (sourced from a pool of eight) from the disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design, who can offer depth and variety of industry experience and knowledge.
Where an additional specialism is required, additional panel members will be called in on an as-needs basis. These may include advice from fields such as heritage, education, sustainability and environmental design, universal design, development feasibility and transport.
Acting in an advisory capacity, the MDRP will assist The City of Melbourne to improve the design quality and functionality of new development. Eligible applicants should refer to the link below for the Terms of Reference, Code of Conduct and how to apply.
