 The Minister for Transport; Planning; Lands Rita Saffioti has invited suitably qualified people to apply for specialist membership on Development Assessment Panels (DAPs) for an appointment term of up to three years.

Applicants must have a tertiary qualification or substantial experience in one or more of the following areas: town planning, architecture, urban design, engineering, landscape design, environment, law and/or property development or management.

Successful applicants may be eligible to be paid a sitting fee of $425 per meeting for a specialist panel member and $700 per meeting for a presiding member in determination of new DAP applications.
