Frequently Asked Questions
  Sustainability in your development is important whether it is a residential extension, new dwelling or larger commercial or industrial building. Incorporating the basic principles of Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) will result in buildings which are cleaner, safer and cheaper to run.

Thinking about environmentally sustainable design (ESD) early in the planning process will avoid delays with Council and extra costs of re-designing.
