• Fact Sheet
• by Jonas Bengtsson
• posted 13 Aug 2008

Adapting spatial developments in local government areas to climate change means each site needs to be assessed for its suitability now as well as its appropriateness and vulnerability over its expected lifetime. This fact sheet provides guidance on how to incorporate projected changes in extreme weather events, fire risk and implications for energy and insurance cost and availability for your development.

• Fact Sheet
• by Michael Ambrose
• posted 14 May 2008

Solar access in subdivision design is about manipulating the key variables of aspect, shape and density in combination with site characteristics such as topography and slope to achieve an optimum mix of lot sizes that are appropriately oriented to allow for energy efficient house design. When lots are correctly aligned and proportioned, individual energy efficient housing can be built with comparatively less effort because lots are suitable to site a dwelling with good solar access.
