The Residential Sustainability Assessment Grant program supports body corporates in residential strata-title buildings to undertake assessments to determine environmental performance, to raise community awareness on the opportunities for improvement, and to work towards resource efficiency and net-zero emissions. The grant supports projects that relate to common areas or provide communal benefit for residential occupants.
To guide and inform the City’s direction and approach for the Residential Sustainability Assessment Grants, key priority outcomes which are aligned to the City’s Strategic Community Plan and Sustainability Strategy have been identified.
Funding Available
Grants of up to $10,000 (excluding GST) are available.
Payment of the grant will be 75% upfront on receipt of a valid invoice, with 25% retained until completion of a successful acquittal.
Key Dates
The City will accept applications for Residential Sustainability Assessment Grants at any time until 15 May 2025, and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis in line with budget and strategic priorities.
Applicants are required to apply a minimum of 8 weeks prior to the start of the project and must complete approved assessments within twelve months from the date of approval.
This grant operates as exhaustive funding, and the City reserves the right to close the program once the available budget has been expended.
