Understanding the Cost of a BASIX Certificate for Your NSW Development

When starting out a residential development project in NSW, it is crucial to fulfill the mandatory requirement of acquiring a BASIX certificate to ensure the new buildings meet specific sustainability standards. Overall, the cost of a BASIX Certificate varies depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the development, the type of building, and the measures required to improve energy and water efficiency.

Although the cost of a BASIX Certificate may seem significant, it is a worthwhile investment, as it can help to reduce energy and water bills in the long run and improve the environmental sustainability of your development.

How Can You Apply for a BASIX Certificate?

To get a BASIX certificate in New South Wales (NSW), you must follow a few steps to ensure your development meets the government’s sustainability targets. The first step is registering your development with the NSW Government’s planning portal. Once registered, you must pay the cost and complete the BASIX assessment tool, which evaluates your building’s energy and water efficiency performance against specific targets set by the government. The following are some of the critical points to remember when applying for a BASIX certificate:

• Register your development with the NSW government’s planning portal.
• Complete the BASIX assessment tool and provide details about your development, including floor plans, building materials, and appliances.
• The assessment will also require information about the building’s orientation, shading, and ventilation systems.
• After completing the assessment, you will receive a BASIX certificate that must be submitted to the local council with your development application.
• The council will then review your application and assess your compliance with the development standards, including the BASIX targets.
• Obtain a BASIX certificate before submitting your development application, as it is mandatory for all new residential developments in NSW.
