Sydney Opera House seeks new members for two advisory groups

Sydney Opera House is seeking expressions of interest for built environment experts to join its Design Advisory Panel and Conservation Council.

The two groups provide specialist advice on the principles that underpin decision-making on conservation and heritage-related issues, as well as the implementation of the Conservation Management Plan, Utzon Design Principles, Heritage Action Plan and other key documents.

The Conservation Council was established in 1996 while the Design Advisory Panel was formed in 2010. Since then, the two groups have contributed a series of renewal works leading up to the 50th anniversary of the opera house, including the renewal of the Concert Hall.

Members of both groups will be appointed for a three-year term. Applicants are required to have a minimum of 15 years experience and Design Advisory Panel members will also need to be registered with the NSW Architects Registration Board.

Expressions of interest for the Design Advisory Panel and Conservation Council can be submitted on the Sydney Opera House website.
