Rainwater Tank Rebate

For a rainwater tank and rainwater tank-to-toilet connection you can claim a rebate of $150 for a tank 600 litres or greater. Plus an additional $150 for the toilet connection.

Large rainwater tank:

* $1000 for a tank 4000+ litres connected to toilet and laundry
* $900 for a tank 4000+ litres connected to toilet or laundry
* $500 for tank 2000-3999 litres connected to toilet and/or laundry

The large tank rebates can be paid via a one-off Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or by cheque. It can take around 10-12 weeks to process.

The existing $150 rebate for tanks 600 litres or larger that are not connected for indoor use will still apply, as will the $150 tank to toilet connection for new small tanks (600 L to 1999 L) and existing tanks. These two $150 rebates will continue to be credited to your next water bill.

For greywater systems there is a $500 rebate for a permanent tank system that recycles waste water from laundries and bathrooms for use on the garden or in the toilet.
