What is a BASIX certificate?

BASIX is a NSW Government planning measure to reduce household electricity and water use by setting minimum sustainability targets for new and renovated homes. After a BASIX Assessment has been successfully completed, a BASIX certificate is issued that confirms that your development meets the NSW Government’s sustainability targets.

Before lodging your plans with council, a BASIX certificate is required for all residential building design and developments in NSW.

What are the BASIX requirements?

A BASIX certificate is required for the construction of the following in NSW:

• new houses
• new townhouses and villas
• new dual occupancies
• new granny flats
• new flats and apartments
• renovations of $50,000 or more to an existing home
• swimming pools and/or spas larger than 40,000 litres
• the conversion of an existing non-residential building to a residential building.
