I'm an architect, since what you're planning on doing is basically removable there are no fire code issues to concern yourself with. I agree with jpmartdog, I would frame it out of 2x4's at 24" O.C. and skin it with 1/2" ply. I would suggest lag-bolting the two panels to each other, that way if/ when you move you can just unbolt the panels and move them with you. They'll be heavy, but it's better than having to tear them apart and toss them when you move. You could just skin one side and leave the back open. That will make the panels lighter and will also give you the ability to run wiring for lights if you want.

Edit to add- I just noticed you're in Australia, so your building codes are no doubt different than what I'm familiar with. I still don't think it'll be an issue though, but if you're concerned you might check with a local architect. Good luck!
