Graphic elements
🔹 Needed for NSW Government Branding
Give your product a distinctly NSW look and feel
Graphic elements are small design details which make your work recognisable as NSW Government. They play an important role creating consistency across interactions and hierarchy, and are required to meet digital branding.
Logo positioning
Position the NSW Government logo in the top left, and use a clear space equal to 100% of the width of the ‘N’. From 1st December 2021, don't use 'lock up' logos with a line and department name.
Full requirements can be found in the Logo guidance. Using the header component will automatically give you a brand compliant logo.
Border radius
Use a 4px border radius on clickable containers and inputs. This reinforces to the user that the element is interactive, such as:
Drop shadow
Use a drop shadow for 'floating' objects which are dismissable, such as:
- Mega menu navigation
- Predictive list
- Dialogues

The "Line System"
The NSW brand line is a consistent use of the line system to aid hierarchy and navigation in digital. It's applied as a solid border on one side of an object or container. It's width can be 2px, 4px or 6px depending on where it is being used. You can use it to:
- aid information hierarchy
- support navigational structure
- highlight an active nav item
- segment sections of content
- separate blocks of content

Vacant land
The FHBAS applies to vacant land on which you plan to build your home.
You won’t pay any transfer duty if your land is valued at less than $350,000. For land valued between $350,000 and $450,000, you’ll receive a concessional rate.
New and existing homes
As a first home buyer, you may be eligible for a transfer duty concession or exemption.
- If your home is valued at less than $650,000, you can apply for a full exemption so that you don’t have to pay transfer duty.
- If the value of your home is between $650,000 and $800,000, you can apply for a concessional rate of transfer duty. The amount you’ll have to pay will be based on the value of your home.
Knockdown rebuild
If you’re like many Sydney homeowners, you wish you had a more spacious and luxurious home. The problem is, you don’t want to give up your prized location!
KnockDown Rebuild by Metricon gives you the best of both worlds.
Sections and banners can also be used to apply the line system to segment content.
