The Victorian government architect Professor Geoffrey London chairs the jury consisting of urban planners Professor Rob Adams and Caroline Bos, restaurateur and television presenter George Calombaris, lawyer John Curtis, architect Cassandra Fahey, heritage advisor Peter Lovell and transport advisor Gillian Miles.
