Who needs a Sustainability Declaration

You do if you are selling a dwelling/s. From 1 January 2010, the completion of a sustainability declaration is a mandatory requirement under the Building Act 1975 when selling a house, townhouse or unit. The form is designed to help sellers and buyers understand both how to make homes more sustainable and the potential for ongoing savings associated with sustainable features.

This declaration can be completed by the property owner or a representative of the owner. It must be made available to prospective buyers while the property is on the market, including at property inspections. If the property is advertised through a website(s) the declaration should be available as part of the website advertisement. The website link to the sustainability declaration will need to be referenced in all other advertisements (other than in a newspaper or magazine). If a real estate agent is used to market the property, the form will need to be provided to the agent by the seller to enable them to advertise the dwelling in accordance with the Property Agents and Motor Dealers Act 2000.
