To obtain a BASIX Certificate to submit with your development application or complying development certificate, follow the steps below

First time users, register your details

Start a new project

Once you have registered or logged in to the BASIX Tool, you will be on the "Projects portfolio" page. On this page, click on the "Start a new project" button to start entering your project information into the BASIX Tool (using the data input checklist as a base).

Review your commitments and get a BASIX Certificate

You can review your commitments before generating a BASIX Certificate. This can be done from the "Certificate page". Once you are happy with the commitments, print your Certificate and attach it to your development plans and development application and submit to Council.

The Certificate can only be printed once you have reached the BASIX targets, completed all the mandatory fields and paid the certificate fee (see the BASIX FAQs page for details of the fee payable).
