Adaptable housing

Adaptable housing Class 2 

Adaptable housing is a housing designed to cater for people of all ages and abilities, especially for people with severe physical disabilities such as wheelchair users. It becomes a mandatory requirement for many States and Territories to have adaptable housing provisions for a development consisting of 5 or more units.   

State and Territory town planning codes often stipulate that the adaptable housing provision under the planning legislation is to provide greater housing choices. To fulfil the social vision of people that are able to “age in place” in the comfort of their own home. As state-planning legislation varies across the country, it is best for clients to get in touch with us to discuss the state specific requirements that best suits your needs.
