National Indigenous housing guide: improving the living environment for safety, health and sustainability: third edition (2007)

Description

The National Indigenous Housing Guide is a practical resource to support the planning and development of Indigenous housing in terms of design, construction and maintenance for remote communities.

The resource is divided into four parts including:

• safety
• health and housing
• healthy communities, and
• managing houses for safety and health

It is useful for builders, trades people, housing workers, council members, architects, project managers, or government officials working in Indigenous affairs and housing.

The guide was developed by the Australian Government in partnership with communities, housing design consultants, builders, architects and health workers. It is supported by research and meets Australian building standards.
