Comprised of experienced design leaders, the panel plays an important role in shaping the future of cities and communities across New South Wales by providing independent design advice on projects of state significance. At a time when design quality and sustainability are increasingly critical, the panel’s work is a vital part of the stewardship of good design — a responsibility Dijana is deeply passionate about and continues to advocate for through her practice.

With more than 25 years of experience leading and delivering multi-award-winning projects across master planning, urban design, residential, commercial, education and mass timber, Dijana brings deep insight and expertise to the role. Her appointment reflects a long-standing commitment to thoughtful, rigorous and socially responsive design outcomes.

We congratulate Dijana on this appointment and know she will be an invaluable member of the panel, contributing to high-quality design outcomes across the state.
