Rainwater Tank Rebates

Federal Government Rainwater Tank Rebate Program

More than 50,000 rebates have been claimed by NSW householders, saving more than 1 billion litres of water and 50,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.

You apply for the rebates after the purchase and installation is complete.

Hot water systems, insulation or rainwater tanks installed to comply with BASIX (the Building Sustainability Index) for new homes and major renovations are not eligible for a rebate.

• 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.
