Residential Sustainability Assessment Grants support 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.
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.
