The Electronic Housing Code (EHC) was launched on the 28th October. As BASIX certificates are already delivered in electronic pdf format, they are ideally suited to the electronic application process now available at 10 participating councils - Bankstown, Blacktown, Lake Macquarie, Port Macquarie, Rockdale, Shellharbour, Sutherland, Tamworth, The Hills and Tweed. The system will be rolled out at up to 24 additional councils over the next two years.
This means that builders, homeowners and renovators can have their plans approved online, within days.
