Auckland Urban Design Panel appointments
We are proud to share that five members of the Isthmus team have been appointed to a three-year term on the Auckland Urban Design Panel (AUDP). The AUDP has been refreshed and expanded to deal with the quantity of proposed developments coming through as Tāmaki Makaurau continues to expand and densify. Isthmus designers returning to the panel after several years of service are Deb Lee Sang, Haylea Muir and Matt Jones. They are joined by two new panel members Andrew Norriss and Lola Guirao-Sanchez.
The Auckland Urban Design Panel (AUDP) provides independent design review of significant projects and plays a key role in improving the quality of the built environment. The panel is an independent advisory body with proven influence in promoting good design and helping council representatives to achieve better outcomes when working with private and public developments.
The updated panel contains a pool of nearly sixty professionals, all affiliated with one of the following bodies — Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects, Tuia Pito Ora New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects, Te Kōkiringa Taumata New Zealand Planning Institute, Property Council New Zealand, Ngā Aho and the Tāmaki Makaurau Design Ope Auckland Council. To assess each development proposal panels of between four and six members are drawn from the pool.
We look forward to the contribution that Deb, Haylea, Matt, Andrew and Lola make to the future shape and livability of Tāmaki Makaurau.
