Wind classification, climate and overlays in Clyde North VIC
Wind classification under AS 4055 sets how much bracing and tie-down a frame needs. On Clyde North estate lots the engineering commonly specifies N2, but the figure for your house is the one on your own drawings. Melbourne sits in NCC climate zone 6, which drives insulation and glazing. Lots near the Cardinia Creek corridor and drainage reserves can carry planning overlays, so read the planning certificate for your lot rather than assuming the suburb is clear.
