Re-joining the panel of experts is Suzie Barnett, a 2014 and 2015 judge and a key player in establishing the green building movement in Australia. Heading the panel as the jury chair will be long-time Sustainability Awards judge Dick Clarke of Envirotecture. Clarke will be overseeing the new special awards including Best Newcomer and Lifetime Achievement Award.
Nominations are still currently open for the Awards, closing tomorrow Thursday 14 July.
Finalists will be announced in September, with winners honoured at a gala dinner in October.
