BASIX Requirements in NSW
New homes and homes with substantial renovations are mandated under BASIX to install a water tank.
BASIX mandated water tanks require certain capacities depending on your home or business size. You can learn more by enquiring with your local Council for advice specific to your Local Government Area.
There are thin slimline water tanks available to suit even the tightest of spaces, meaning no home can go without a tank.
