The BASIX standards cover water, energy use and thermal performance. They apply to all new residential developments, as well as renovations more than $50,000. Increases to the BASIX standards came into effect on 1 October 2023.
To access the BASIX tool, users need to log in using their applicant or developer NSW Planning Portal account or register for an account.
Due to the large number of enquiries we’re receiving, we might take a little longer to respond than usual. Please refer to our BASIX support materials page for further assistance.
We also have updated our process for address changes. We now ask users to check the address and lot / deposited plan details against the NSW Planning Portal Spatial Viewer and provide a spatial viewer screenshot with your request. Alternatively, if the details you’re requesting don’t match the spatial viewer, please provide supporting evidence such as the planning certificate issued by the council. These requests will take us a little longer to process.
Please send this information to info@service.nsw.gov.au
