Improved liveability housing is a dwelling that has been designed to improve ‘liveability’, and should be built to Livable Housing Australia ‘Silver’ level. The designed environment should respond to the needs of participants through incorporating a reasonable level of physical access and enhanced provision for participants with sensory, intellectual or cognitive impairment. For example, Improved Liveability dwellings should include one or more additional design features such as luminance contrasts, improved wayfinding and/or lines of sight depending on the needs of the participants(1).

Houses are detached low-rise dwellings with garden or courtyard areas. To be a house (rather than a villa/duplex/townhouse), the dwelling must be located on a clearly separated land area (e.g. separated by a fence, hedge or other form of delineation that is in keeping with the character of the neighbourhood) and must not share a wall, roof, entry area, driveway, car parking or outdoor area with any dwelling other than an ancillary Villa/Townhouse/Duplex with no more than one resident. A house is not to have more than two ancillary Villa/Duplex/Townhouses (otherwise the primary dwelling is likely to be considered a Villa/Townhouse/Duplex). Each house must have a land area that is commensurate with the number of residents and in keeping with similar properties in the neighbourhood(2).
