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).

Villas, duplexes and townhouses are dwellings for one, two or three residents. They are generally separate but semi-attached properties within a single land title or strata titled area. Each villa, duplex or townhouse must have a separate and reasonably accessible entry to/exit from the property, and participants must not be able to internally traverse between dwellings. That is, participants must be required to exit one dwelling in order to enter another. Restricted internal access between dwellings may be provided for support staff only. Villas, duplexes and townhouses may also be ancillary dwellings that are located on the same parcel of land as another dwelling (e.g. fully self-contained ‘granny flats’)(2).
