New obsy build - advice on insulation?

Hi
I am in the middle of an obsy build at the moment and I am about to get the roof on and add the cladding. I intend to use some moisture membrane inbetween the cladding and the struts as well as under the roof but wondering if I need to be thinking about insulation? Is it necessary in terms of impacts on an obsy setup? Not really used to seasons in sydney but temperatures dont tend to drop below 8 or so degrees in winter, positively mild where I am, however I would imagine the heat build up during the day might have an impact though of course there would be a cool down when the roof rolls off?

If anyone has any advise it would be much appreciated

This is a full timberframe build with a roll on roll off roof (well, half a rolloff anyway) and I get the impression the plans were drawn up by someone with a vested interest in the timber trade
