The NSW Government’s Rainwater Tank Rebate is now available to households across NSW and will provide up to $1500 to install any type of new rainwater storage system in an existing home.

To maximise potable water savings, the rebate is scaled so that the highest level will be paid for tanks connected to toilets and washing machines.

Applications are through the Department of Environment and Climate Change (DECC) by visiting www.environment.nsw.gov.au/rebates or calling 1300 361 967.
