The savewater.com.au website is used for practical information on the water-saving elements of the new 5 Star standard for new houses and apartments in Victoria. It combines information on the requirements of the standard with water-saving product ideas that can help to achieve it.
After a 12 month flexible phase-in period, the Victorian state government's 5 Star standard became compulsory on 1 July, requiring all new houses and apartments built across Victoria to meet specific energy and water savings. Builders, plumbers, architects, building designers, owner builders and built environment educators are encouraged to visit savewater.com.au to help them meet the standard's water-saving requirements.
Compliance with the standard requires: a 5 Star energy rating for the building fabric, plus the installation of water-saving measures (including water efficient taps, shower heads and pressure reduction valves) and either a rainwater tank or solar hot water service.
