Join our Local Planning Panel
We’re looking for people living in our local area to become members of our Local Planning Panel.
The Local Planning Panel helps keep the planning system open and accountable, protecting against corruption and supporting better decisions for our city.
Its work spans straightforward applications through to those that are more complex or highly debated.
The panel has 4 members. It includes a chair, nominated by the Minister for Planning, 2 expert members selected by Council and approved by the Minister for Planning, and a community representative selected by Council.
No planning expertise is required. The role of the community representative is to ensure local insights and knowledge are considered as part of the panel’s decision-making.
