A BASIX Assessment is required for the Development Application (DA) process in NSW for proposed plan development. It is an initiative to 'encourage sustainable residential development' and aims to reduce greenhouse gases and water consumption.
It is required for all new residential dwellings built in NSW that cost $50,000 or more. The residential dwellings considered will include:
Single dwellings
Dual-occupancy dwellings
Townhouses
Villas
Low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise multi unit developments
Boarding houses
Guest houses
Hostels
Lodging houses
Backpacker accommodation
Multi-unit developments
Swimming pools and/or outdoor spa with water capacity greater than or equal to 40,000 litres or 40 kilolitres.
In addition to these dwellings, alterations and add-ons to existing dwellings that cost greater than $50,000 will also require a BASIX certificate.
BASIX assessments are conducted by highly-qualified and experienced ESD Consultants. The consultants require an in-depth knowledge of the energy efficiency measures of both mechanical and electrical systems of a building, as well as having knowledge of the thermal properties of buildings fabrics.
The BASIX assessment uses an online assessment tool which will determine the sustainability of the 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.
