READ NOWBayswater Mayor Dan Bull said the panel’s aim was to work in partnership with the City and applicants to ensure developments were well-designed and enhanced streetscapes.
“It’s about awesome, contextual urban design, creating liveable neighbourhoods and a built form that preserves the unique character of our suburbs,” he said.
“Not only will this lead to better, higher quality developments, but it will streamline the application and decision making process.
“Encouraging applicants to engage with our Design Review Panel early will allow greater flexibility and reduce red tape, which is important in getting the best outcomes possible for our ratepayers and residents.”
