Hi Kelsey, I think youll find that the Kalamunda shire require minimum 7 star rating on all new builds R10/20.

If you want to use some 'passive' design, you've got great potential to capture the northern light by letting the winter sun into the living/dining area. Watch out for a hot master bedroom on the west there... make sure that western wall is shaded and well insulated otherwise will be very warm when...

Hi Richard, If you're building in Kalamunda, I feel we may be building in the same area. Your block size/ plans make me think we may be neighbours. Are you building in a strata by any chance? Good luck with your build! Hi Kelsey, yes we are building in Kalamunda but not in a strata, and thanks yes ...
