Basix Report

Basix Report

BASIX was introduced to encourage sustainable residential development by New South Wales (NSW) Government. It aims to promote more residential dwellings by simultaneously reducing greenhouse gases and water consumption. 

You will require the BASIX Certificate if you intend to submit a development application to an NSW local Council to: 

  • Construct a new residential dwelling like a single house, dual occupancy, townhouse or multi-unit. 
  • Alter, enlarge or extend buildings with more than one dwelling (other than hotels or motels). 
  • Undertake a development for the purpose of building a large swimming pool or spa. 

It uses an online Assessment Tool which will determine the sustainability of your development application. The assessment tool analyses data of the proposed dwelling’s design against the NSW Government’s water and energy targets. A BASIX certificate is issued upon meeting the BASIX target requirements and paying a fee.
