$169.00 is based on (FirstRate5):
$169.00 Inc GST (per Assessment) is based on a single storey house/dwelling (including the existing) using standard basic construction methods up to 200 sqm with no split levels and/or multi wall, floor and roof constructions.
If the proposed dwelling, including the existing, can achieve 6 Stars on its own then only one assessment will be required. But this is rarely achievable unless you are fully retrofitting the existing part of the house/dwelling.
If the existing/proposed house/dwelling can't achieve the minimum 6 Stars required on its own, then the Victorian Building Authority's Practice Note: 2018-55 will be used as a Performance Solution. This is where two separate assessments will be required.
One assessment is based on the existing house/dwelling as it stands now and other assessment is based on the proposed house/dwelling including the existing.
(Total $338.00 Inc GST: Single Storey - up to 200 SQM with no split levels and/or multi wall, floor and roof constructions).
You will also need to add $79.00 Inc Gst for our Regulation 233 Worksheet which works out the areas/volumes of the project.
