Bombala If you are building a new home from 1st July 2005,
you need a BASIX Certificate to submit with your
development application.

What is BASIX?
BASIX (the Building Sustainability Index), is a new planning tool that affects anyone building a new home. By applying practical measures to the design of a new home, BASIX ensures there is the potential to save energy and water – saving you money on your bills and protecting the environment.

How to get a BASIX Certificate
Your building designer can do this for you, or you can do it yourself

1. Go to www.basix.nsw.gov.au and login to the BASIX assessment tool.
2. Complete the assessment form by entering the design details of the home. The tool demonstrates how the proposed design is scoring, according to its potential to save energy and water.
3. Once the design meets the targets, you can print your BASIX Certificate.
4. Lodge your proposal at Council with the BASIX Certificate.
