A state government has acted on growing calls to ban popular dark-coloured roof home design trend

An incredibly popular home design trend is facing extinction as authorities and major industry players across the country respond to growing calls for a ban. From the multimillion-dollar properties on The Block to the glossy pages of design magazines, dark roof colours have taken hold in recent years and become increasingly sought-after. They’re also extremely common in new suburbs popping up on the fringes of major capitals like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. But research shows colour matters when it comes to regulating heat – not just inside an individual dwelling, but across entire neighbourhoods. The Playford Alive urban renewal project in Adelaide’s northern suburbs takes in a mammoth 1000ha state-of-the-art site, including 500ha of housing development. When eventually complete, the sprawling $1 billion project in Munno Para will be home to some 40,000 people.
