What is the BASIX Alternative Assessment?
The Department’s alternative assessment process will enable the qualitative as well as quantitative assessment of development proposals which can’t be described to the BASIX assessment tool. The process is only available to proposals that have not reached the water and energy targets. Proposals assessed under this alternative method will still be required to meet prescribed sustainability targets, albeit by means other than those available through the interactive BASIX assessment tool. There is no fee for an Alternative Assessment.
