Waverley Council – Sustainability Rebates for Apartments

Sustainability Rebates for Apartments

Waverley Council has committed to reducing its community greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2035 as part of its Community Strategic Plan and Environmental Action Plan.

Due to the extra costs and barriers that apartment buildings face in improving sustainability outcomes, Waverley Council is trialling Sustainability Rebates for Apartments for up to 12 months (or until the funding runs out).

Apartment buildings in Waverley can receive up to $5,000 in rebates for the following products or service:

• Common area energy assessments
• Installation of rooftop solar for apartments
• Electrification of centralised hot water
• Electrification of swimming pool and / or spa heating
