BUILDING REGULATIONS
2012 — SEVEN-STAR ENERGY RATING
744. Hon WILSON TUCKER to the minister representing the
Minister for Commerce:
I refer to the Building Ministers'
Meeting communique of August 2022 and the announcement of the adoption of a minimum
standard of a seven-star energy rating for new homes. Does the state government
intend to mandate a seven-star energy rating for new homes in Western Australia;
and, if so, through what mechanism?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the
question. The following information has been provided by the Minister for
Commerce.
Yes, through the Building
Regulations 2012, which prescribe the applicable standards for building work.
