BASIX & NatHERS for Gilead homes
Gilead is one of Macarthur’s newest growth fronts, anchored by Lendlease’s Figtree Hill master-planned community south of Campbelltown. New homes, duplexes and granny flats need a BASIX certificate and a 7-star NatHERS rating, with summer heat the main design factor.
New houses and dual occupancies in Gilead need BASIX and NatHERS documentation for the DA or complying development certificate. With compact estate lots and design guidelines, orientation and glazing are best locked in early - controlling west-facing glass and choosing lighter roof colours are the most effective steps toward 7 stars in this warm western-Sydney climate.
What matters when building in Gilead
- Glazing and shading control on west and north-west elevations
- Lighter roof colours to reduce the summer cooling load
- Ceiling insulation to R5.0 or better, with continuous wall insulation on two-storey homes
- Granny flats and duplexes assessed alongside the main dwelling
- Whole-of-home compliance for hot water, lighting and solar PV under NCC 2022
