The Developer’s Guide to 7-Star Energy Rules (Without Blowing Your Budget)

If you’re developing townhouses, here’s something you can’t afford to ignore

 

Under the National Construction Code (NCC), all new residential dwellings — including townhouses — must now meet a 7-star energy efficiency rating.

 

✅ But how do you get there without blowing your budget?
✅ What does council really expect in your planning application?
✅ And how do you avoid the costly surprises, redesigns, and delays that derail so many projects?

 

We’ve invited a leading Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) consultant,  Jim Woolcock from SUHO, to answer these questions and more — live and in person at our next property networking event.

 

🗓 Tuesday 9th September 
📍 Arkaba Hotel, 150 Glen Osmond Road, Fullarton, SA
🕕 Arrive from 6:00pm for networking
      Presentations start 6:30pm | Event ends at 8:00pm

 

What You’ll Learn:

 

  • Exactly what’s required under the new 7-Star NCC energy rules
  •  

  • How to minimise delays, reduce costs, and avoid compliance headaches
  •  

  • Where developers typically go wrong — and how to stay one step ahead
  •  

  • Smart, efficient ESD solutions that can actually boost your profits
  •  

  • Why going beyond 7-star can add real value to your development
  •  

  • PLUS Real-world examples of cost-effective, high-impact ESD strategies

 

This isn’t theory — it’s a straight-talking, practical session tailored for townhouse developers who want clarity, speed, and cost control.
