Guidelines
The LHA Livable Housing Guidelines provide Australia’s only best practice guidelines for liveable housing agreed in partnership between community, consumer groups, government and industry. The certification of a home to a silver, gold or platinum level under the guidelines ensures that these standards have been met through the home’s design and construction. Only LHA Design Guideline Assessors registered with LHA can assess a design or an as built house as meeting the Livable Housing Silver, Gold or Platinum levels.
