Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) today (March 15) endorsed a new building design guideline that will offer the community and building industry tools for interpreting responses to climate change and variability as well as incorporating practical design ideas in home renovations or new home construction, as well as multi-residential and commercial buildings.
The Warm Temperate Climate Building Design Guidelines were endorsed at today's March Ordinary Meeting of Council.
TRC Planning and Development Committee chair Cr Megan O'Hara Sullivan said the Guidelines offered the community positive solutions to consider more appropriate climate-responsive building designs, which were one part of the puzzle to support the Region's liveability.
"Council is keen to promote a collective response with collaborative solutions to address the changes outlined in the guidelines," Cr O'Hara Sullivan said.
