NSW Housing Pattern Book: A Smarter Way To Build- With Weathertex By Your Side
The NSW Government has launched a game changing initiative: the NSW Housing Pattern Book, a carefully curated collection of eight architect designed low to medium-density housing templates that promise to transform how we design and build homes across the state.
Targeted at increasing the supply of affordable, sustainable, and high-quality homes, the NSW Housing Pattern Book is designed to speed up approval times and reduce costs. It offers a range of innovative designs for terraces, townhouses, and manor homes that can be approved in just 10 days via the Complying Development pathway.
And right now, for a limited time, you can purchase these plans for just $1 each,a massive saving from the usual $1,000 cost.

🌏 A Better Than Zero Carbon Footprint
Weathertex products are made from 97% natural, sustainably-sourced Australian hardwood plus 3% wax, nothing else. Our unique manufacturing process results in Weathertex’s “better than zero carbon footprint,” which means there is more carbon stored in the timber used to make Weathertex than is produced in its manufacture. When it comes to the environment, Weathertex is unmatched at this economical price-point, reinforcing your project's sustainability and value from the ground up.

🌱Industry Leading Circular Economy Outcomes
Circular Economies are all about ‘eliminating waste.’ Products that achieve higher Circular Economy scores are made using renewable resources, are produced without creating harmful byproducts, have low levels of embodied energy, are long lasting, require minimal maintenance, retain value after their initial life or application and can be composted at the ultimate end of their useful life, thus supporting resource renewability (and the circle continues). On a recent Stockland Residential project, Coomera Foreshore in Queensland, Coreo assessed five construction materials and Weathertex achieved an industry-leading Circular Economy score of 86%.
