Sustainability Rebates

Sustainability Rebates - currently open

The Sustainability Rebates Program has been successfully leveraging sustainability investment since April 2023, with every rebate dollar leading to $14 invested by the community. As of February 2024, over $60,000 in rebates have been paid leading to $1.15 million investment in sustainability products. 

The rebates are designed to incentivise residents and business to install sustainable technologies such as solar and EV charging, with stronger incentives for those facing larger upfront costs such as apartment complexes. The Program will build resilience within the Lane Cove community by reducing carbon emissions and reducing the impact of climate disruptions.

To access rebates, residents will need to obtain pre-approval, by providing documentation such as a quote and approvals required by a landlord or strata committee. Then once the product is installed, a claim can be submitted with documentation such as tax invoice, receipt, and photos of the installation.

Read the Terms and Conditions and Guidelines documents, which outline the full eligibility details and approval process.
