Livable Housing Australia has launched a new app to guide the design and construction of homes that are more livable for all Australians, at all stages of life.
“Livable Housing Australia’s new app puts the Livable Housing Design Guidelines in the palm of your hand,” says Andrew Aitken, Executive Director at Livable Housing Australia.
“The Livable Housing Design Guidelines app outlines simple, straightforward features that can be incorporated into any new or existing home.
“These design features are inexpensive to incorporate and make homes safe, comfortable and easy to access for everyone,” Mr Aitken explains.
Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Carers, the Hon Amanda Rishworth MP, welcomed the new app which will make it even easier to design and construct accessible homes.
“The Federal Labor Government strongly believes that people with disability deserve the same opportunities as other Australians, and ensuring houses are accessible for everyone is an important step towards a more inclusive society,” Ms Rishworth says.
“The guidelines are being embraced by industry, and more than 250 dwellings have achieved the Livable Housing design Quality Mark this year alone,” Mr Aitken adds.
“We expect a massive market for livable design features in the future – so learning how to design and build livable homes now is a smart move.
“This new app will ensure everyone in the industry – from architects and designers to builders and tradespeople – have easy access to guidelines that will help us make Australia’s homes more livable.”
