Consultation has concluded

The Waterwise program was introduced in 2008 to help improve residential water efficiency in the local government area. The Policy has recently been reviewed by staff and public comment is sought on the revised Policy.

The Waterwise program is designed to increase public awareness about water conservation and to encourage, through various incentives, the more efficient use of water. The aim of the program is to assist in the reduction in use of a scarce resource as well as expenditure in terms of pumping and treatment costs. The initiatives of the Program include:

  • Free Home Tune Up
  • Retrofit Toilet Subsidy
  • Rainwater Tank Subsidy - retro-fitting rainwater tanks to existing homes and installing tanks that exceed the requirements of BASIX for new homes

We are seeking your comments on the draft Policy which can be found in the documents library. You can make a submission by:
