Flexible Housing

Flexible Housing

This is all about homes being initially designed to allow additions or extensions to be made over time as the needs of the household change. This caters for family space needs for teenagers, young adults or grandparents, use of space for a business, and for progressive frailty and can help people ‘age in place’. It also aims to encourage duel occupancy, which is of interest to the Northern Rivers community as it provides for more affordable/creative housing and the renting out of half a house.
