NSW has chosen 100 design experts to help improve the quality of the built environment across the state.  

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes says the new State Design Review Panel pool has been appointed to provide independent expert advice on State Significant development and infrastructure projects and precincts. 

“The new State Design Review Panel will build on the great work of the pilot program launched in 2018, which guided the development of more than 100 public and private projects worth almost $9 billion,” Stokes says.

In an attempt at humour, Stokes also noted that, “NSW residents will also be relieved to note that the Treasurer Dom Perrottet has not been selected for the Design Review Panel.” 

NSW Government Architect Abbie Galvin says the expanded panel will play a vital role in shaping the design of the State at a critical time. 

“The unprecedented investment in infrastructure and the Government’s commitment to create greener places and great public spaces create an exciting climate for panel members to play a role,” says Galvin. 

“It’s fantastic to see such a diverse panel with a wide range of skills and expertise, including six Aboriginal design and cultural experts who will help ensure Aboriginal culture and heritage are integral to the design of places in NSW.” 

The panel is made up of 88 independent members with expertise across a range of areas including architecture, landscape architecture, urban design,  Aboriginal and European heritage and sustainability, and 12 State Government design champions.
