The New South Wales Government has launched a new suite of websites for the ongoing NABERS to cater for the increasing use of the program.

 

State Minister for the Environment, Robyn Parker, said the new websites arte in response to industry feedback to better improve communication and provide a better experience for customers and stakeholders.

 

"Industry has made it clear that NABERS ratings are now a key business tool for much of the national property industry," Ms Parker said.

 

"In fact, 66% of Australian office space has been rated with NABERS Energy, and 72% of NSW office space.

 

"Extensive consultation identified a few key areas we could make easier to access and reduce inefficiencies in the system and this is what we then went about solving online."

 

These included:

  • Reducing the amount of duplication, paperwork and time required to process ratings
  • Providing a more transparent and streamlined system where ratings can be lodged and tracked in real time
  • Enhancing communication channels and sharing of information
  • Enabling customers to be more actively involved and informed
  • Offering more resources and technical advice
