National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative
The National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative is currently experiencing peak workloads. Applicants may find a small delay in payment as a result.
The National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative aims to help people use water wisely in their everyday lives.
The Australian Government is providing:
- Rebates of up to $500 for households to install rainwater tanks or greywater systems.
- Grants to surf life saving clubs of up to $10,000 to install a rainwater tank or undertake a larger water saving project.
The $250 million National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative is a key element of the Water for the Future framework.
