Step 3 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN, STATEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTALEFFECTS & BASIX CERTIFICATEDo I need to submit a BASIX Certificate?BASIX (the Building Sustainability Index), is a web-based planning tool thatmeasures the potential performance of new residential dwellings against a rangeof sustainability indices: Energy, Water, Thermal Comfort, Stormwater, andLandscape. By reducing the environmental impact of these features, new homesare more comfortable and cheaper to run than most existing homes.BASIX Certificates are currently required for all new residential dwellings, ie:single storey dwellings, two (2) storey dwellings and granny flats.The NSW Governments Department of Planning have also introduced BASIX toalterations and additions to existing dwellings and multi-unit housing.BASIX ensures each dwelling design meets the NSW Government's targets of a40% reduction in water consumption and a 25% reduction in greenhouse gasemissions, compared with the average home. The greenhouse target willincrease to 40% from July 2006.Compliance with these targets is demonstrated through the completion of aBASIX assessment and the issuing of a BASIX Certificate.The BASIX online assessment requires information about the proposeddevelopment, such as site location, dwelling size, floor area, landscaped areaand services. BASIX compares the proposal to average existing homes. Theproposal is scored according to its potential to consume less mains supply waterand energy than an average existing home.The web-based BASIX tool provides a comprehensive assessment of how aproposed development will perform against clearly defined sustainabilityindicators, minimising the need for the labour intensive assessment of individualproposals.Applicants can generate the BASIX Certificate only on the NSW GorvernmentsDepartment of Planning BASIX website: www.basix.nsw.gov.au.For more information, phone the BASIX Help Line on 1300 650 908.Page 13 of 15Fairfield City CouncilDevelopment Application Guide
