Climate in Lithgow
Lithgow falls in Warm temperate coastal (Zone 5): warm temperate, mild year-round. We take local climate conditions into account, and the panelling can be selected to suit — 50 mm EPS (R = 1.315 m²K/W) is standard, with upgrades to 50 mm PU (R = 2.083), 75 mm PU (R = 3.125) or 50 mm Silica Rock (R = 1.25). For developed countries we recommend the Silica Rock panels.
Wind — Region A — Normal
Lithgow is in AS/NZS 1170.2 Region A — Normal, the standard wind region covering most of inland and southern coastal Australia (design wind speed V₅₀₀ ≈ 45 m/s). Confirm the tie-down and bracing your site needs with a local engineer or certifier. Everything we build must meet, or exceed, your country's building codes.
Bushfire (BAL) considerations
Many lots in this region carry significant bushfire risk, and a BAL (bushfire attack level) assessment is commonly required. Check your council's bushfire-prone area map, and tell us early if your lot has a BAL rating.
Getting a home from China to Lithgow
Each expandable home ships from Shenzhen in a 40' high-cube container, and two homes fit in one container. The nearest major container port to Lithgow is Port Botany, about 145 km away by road. We recommend budgeting around USD $1,000–$2,500 for shipping to your nearest port — this does not include customs charges and import taxes. You must hire a customs broker in your country, who should also help with logistics from the port to your site.
Planning approval in New South Wales
It's essential to engage with your local council to obtain all the necessary planning and building permits. Our guidance in this area is limited, but we can provide general advice to help your project comply with local regulations. New South Wales's planning information is published on the NSW Planning Portal.
