Sustainable Design Fact Sheets
The Sustainable Design Fact Sheets are a series of information sheets aimed at the development industry, which includes the Best Practice standards for each Sustainable Building Category, and suggested design strategies to meet those standards.
Originally developed by the Inner Metro Action Plan (IMAP) councils, custodianship of the Fact Sheets is currently being transferred to CASBE. The suite of Fact Sheets can be found below:
