Livable Housing Design Guidelines (LHDG)
The Livable Housing Design Guidelines outline practical design features that make homes safer, more comfortable, and easier to use for people of all ages and abilities. These guidelines promote step‑free access, improved circulation, and adaptable spaces that support ageing in place and inclusive living. By integrating these principles early in the design process, homes become more functional, flexible, and future‑ready—enhancing independence and usability for everyone who lives in or visits the space.
Livable Housing Design Standards (LHA) consist of 3 Design Categories – Silver, Gold and Platinum Level which are designed to,
- Promote safer, more accessible, and user‑friendly homes that support people of all ages and abilities
- Encourage step‑free access, improved circulation, and adaptable spaces that enhance independence and comfort
- Provide a nationally recognised framework for designing homes that support ageing in place and inclusive living
