As part of the $12.9 billion Water for the Future plan, the Government is delivering the $250 million National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative to help people use water wisely in their everyday lives.
The National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative offers households up to $500 towards a new rainwater tank or greywater system which is purchased after 30 January 2009.
Rebate applications will be accepted from 1 March 2009.
Rebates are available for either:
- The purchase and installation of a new rainwater tank which is connected for internal reuse of the water for toilet and/or laundry use; or
- The purchase and installation of a permanent greywater treatment system.
Water for the Future is a long-term plan to secure the water supply for all Australians. The Government is investing $12.9 billion over 10 years to address four key priorities:
- Taking action on climate change
- Using water wisely
- Securing water supplies
- Supporting health rivers.
