Sustainability Declaration
The Queensland State Government has made it compulsory to provide a Sustainability Declaration checklist that must be completed by the seller
(vendor) when selling a house, townhouse or unit. It will be required as part of
the sale from 1 January 2010.
Properties that have a
greater number of sustainability features can have lower operating costs and be
more energy and water efficient. They use less energy for heating and cooling,
generate fewer greenhouse gas emissions, use less water—and best of all, are
more comfortable to live in.
Sustainability features
such as access and safety also mean that the property will be suitable for
owners during their various life stages and will reduce the need for costly
future upgrades.
The checklist will identify
the property's environmental and social sustainability features in four key
areas: energy water safety access
