Planning your Development

There are a number of items you may wish to consider prior to lodging your development application. Such as:

• Basix
• Telecommunications Infrastructure

BASIX

BASIX (the Building Sustainability Index) is a web-based planning tool designed to assess the potential performance of residential buildings against a range of sustainability indices.

By applying practical measures to design a new home, BASIX ensures there is a potential to save energy and water - saving you money on your bills and protecting the environment.

TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE

The Telstra Website can provide you with the opportunity to discuss with a Telstra Community Development Consultant how your development can become a Telstra Smart Community.  Telstra Smart Community can plan together how to customise Telstra infrastructure within your development to best meet your product and service requirements.

Submitting an application with the Telstra Corporation for telecommunications infrastructure into your development is easy on the web. Go to: www.telstrasmartcommunity.com

Please find below the 'Telstra Smart Community' document which can be downloaded that provides information on providing telecommunications infrastructure into your development.
