Structure of the guidelines
LANDCOM has released guidelines for developers and biulders. The publication is "universal housing design guidelines". The principles of universal housing have been separated into two categories: the Key Design Features that are critical to build in up front, during the house design stage, and other design features that are basic good practice. The guidelines focus on the Key Design Features – the minimum structural and spatial requirements that cannot be changed later without major expense.
The other ‘good practice extras’ are features that will make a home more flexible and practical to live in, but that can reasonably be fitted or modified later, without major expense.
They have been included on a CD-ROM, also downloadable from www.landcom.com.au/theguidelines
