Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 744 asked in the Legislative Council on 30 August 2022 by Hon Wilson Tucker

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

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.
