As a local resident and small business owner, im proud to be selected as a member on the newly formed City of Bayswater Design Review Panel
Many of the larger Councils in Perth have these currently working successfully to assist the Planning Departments assess the merits of Development Approval applications including larger and more complex submissions. The Design Review Panel is comprised of design professionals with expertise in areas suited to the review of complex projects. In my opinion, DRPs provide a low cost method of obtaining expert advice on design and planning essentials to ensure your project is the best it can be - it works particularly well early on in the design process with your own designer / architect.
Looking forward to getting involved!
