Purpose

The Palette of Materials provides the requirements on the choice and use of materials for new developments including housing, industrial and other third party works such as public realm. 

The proposed palette of acceptable materials seeks to address the issue of the increasing use of unsustainable and difficult to maintain materials in developer and third party works on the highway or proposed highway network. The proposed palette seeks to address this by the use of materials that focus on sustainability, ease of procurement, consistency of supply and reducing ongoing maintenance costs/liability.
