Description
This CPD course provides architects and building designers with a practical understanding of the NSW Housing Pattern Book and its role in delivering sustainable, compliant, and diverse housing outcomes across New South Wales. Participants will explore the key housing typologies that address the missing middle housing gap, including terraces, manor homes, row homes, semi detached dwellings, and mid rise apartments. The course examines how passive design principles, NatHERS 7 Star requirements, NCC 2022 energy efficiency provisions, and renewable energy strategies can be integrated into Pattern Book projects. It also covers planning and compliance pathways, including the Complying Development Certificate process, Evidence of Suitability requirements, and the relationship between state and local planning controls. Through practical case studies and implementation guidance, learners will gain the knowledge needed to adapt Pattern Book designs confidently while maintaining design quality, regulatory compliance, and efficient project delivery.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
