What we'll do

We’ll update Victoria’s Better Apartments Design Standards and the Apartment Design Guidelines for Victoria.

We’ll involve communities and industry in developing new standards so new apartments are deliverable, contribute to vibrant local areas and create genuine housing choice and affordability.

Why this action is important

Better design can strengthen climate-resilience, manage the impacts of greater densities and support targets for net-zero emissions while better managing air pollution, waste and recycling.
