Schedule 1 Single Storey (PDF, 3.5 MB)

Example only

This example plan details a single storey brick veneer dwelling on concrete slab. CBOS has updated this design to create a dwelling that could accommodate people with a range of disabilities including physical and sensory. Whilst it is not a legislative requirement to provide this level of accessibility in residential design, CBOS would like to demonstrate how it may be achieved with minimal cost and encourage designers to consider access in design. Please refer to Drawing number UA01 for details.
