ROLE: Design Review Panel Member
CLIENT: National Capital Authority / ACT Planning
I was appointed as an inaugural member in 2016/7 to the design review panel established for the ACT through joint cooperation between the National Capital Authority and ACT Planning. The ACT Government Architect chairs the panel, and I continue to be a member brought in on projects with significant urban design review requirements.
The National Capital Authority is responsible for the Parliamentary Triangle and surrounding areas, key entry roads and areas around Civic and Lake Burley Griffin.
The projects reviewed are quite varied, ranging from a large heritage precinct with new housing and arts facilities to commercial buildings, apartment buildings, and community facilities.
