Supports owners of existing residential buildings within the City of Perth to undertake assessments to determine environmental performance, to identify improvement opportunities, and work towards improving resource efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing climate resilience.

The grant is available for residential strata-titled buildings; and for student, aged and supported accommodation. Projects must relate to common areas or provide communal benefit for residential occupants.

The City will accept applications at any time, however decisions are made on a case-by-case basis in line with budget and strategic priorities. This grant operates as exhaustive funding, and the City reserves the right to close the program once the available budget has been expended.

To be eligible for funding an applicant must;

• be a legally constituted entity with an Australian Business Number (ABN);
• be a body corporate/ owners corporation of an existing residential strata-titled building; or a provider of student, aged or supported accommodation; with at least four residential dwellings. Applications for buildings of mixed use are eligible where the benefits of a project will apply primarily for occupants of residential dwellings;
• be located within the City of Perth’s local government area;
• have appropriate insurances, licenses and authorities where required;
• be using external suppliers that are appropriately certified to undertake assessments;
• have submitted the application prior to the project commencement date with sufficient time to enable consideration by the City;
• and demonstrate financial viability without the City’s funding (an individual project may not be viable without the City’s support, however the organisation must be).
