Eligibility

To be eligible, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Rebates are for purchases/works undertaken in the 2026/27 financial year.
  • The Climate Resilient rebates are for ratepayers and people living in West Torrens for their West Torrens home, or for *community groups in West Torrens (the buildings they utilise), as detailed in this document. Applicants can be the relevant property owner, tenant or community group member. * Community groups include incorporated not-for-profit organisations and groups that are located within the Council area and primarily serve West Torrens residents.
  • Buildings owned by State or Commonwealth Government are not eligible, and businesses cannot apply.
  • City of West Torrens' Elected Members and staff living in West Torrens are not eligible.
  • The rebates are to be used for residential homes or community facilities (where applicable) located within the City of West Torrens.
  • Applications from tenants or community groups need to include written approval from the property owner, and for strata title residential properties approval from the body corporate, as relevant.
  • Applications must include evidence of the work undertaken and/or the purchase, and that it has been paid for in full by providing an itemised receipt and photo of the completed work and/or good purchased.
  • Successful applicants can only receive one type of rebate per property each financial year, except the Renewables for Community Facility rebate, which may only be claimed once every two years. However, if a Residential Home Energy Assessment rebate recommends an action that has a corresponding rebate, that rebate can also be applied for in the same year.
  • Items that have been considered for funding under Council's Community Grants program (whether successful or not) are not eligible.
  • For the purpose of this program, a concession card refers to a Pensioner Concession Card or a Health Care Card.
