Victorian Design Review Panel
The Victorian Design Review Panel (VDRP) has been established to provide independent and authoritative advice to government and statutory decision makers across Victoria about the design of significant development proposals.
The Victorian Design Review Panel (VDRP) commenced reviewing projects in April 2012. Since that time, the VDRP has met monthly and undertaken 35 design review sessions. The VDRP has reviewed approximately $1.5 billion of projects to date.
Projects have included major transport interchanges and transport infrastructure projects including level crossing removals, major housing projects, hospitals, parks, aquatic centres, cultural and sports buildings, commercial headquarters, and town centre masterplan.
As of December 2012, 15 Departments/Agencies have utilised the VDRP for their projects. Over 250 people, including Client Departments, Responsible Authorities and design teams have been engaged in the design review process.

Design review by the VDRP is undertaken in a confidential environment, except when a planning application has been lodged and the project is therefore in the public domain. In these cases, the views of the VDRP will be published on the Office of the Victorian Government website.
The design review process is overseen and managed by OVGA.
