OurTowns Training helps you to understand the drivers that will affect a property’s running costs, liveability, capital growth, and how they apply to the WA planning framework.

Our training helps you better understand a property’s connection to community, nature and transport, how a property’s consumes energy, its water efficiency and liveability, and how the choice of materials effect it.

We explore how you can manage the embodied energy of a property (built form) and make it Future Ready, whilst understanding how the planning framework is relevant to each section.

When considering if a property is Future Ready there are two aspects to consider , embodied and operational. Operational outcomes depend on the occupant’s use of the property. Embodied is how a property is built/designed and addresses critical issues in the selection of materials, appliances, light fittings, running and electrical applications.
