Energy & Water Efficiency
Across Australia, regulations which require all types of new homes to be more energy and water efficient are being introduced. In most cases, these regulations are applied via the Building Code of Australia, but not always. Some States have their own special requirements and in addition, some local councils can also have rules which must be met. Alterations and additions to existing houses can also be required to meet energy and water efficiency rules. It is important that you check the rules for your project before you begin, to ensure your application is not delayed with council.
