Smart unit rebates

Council is offering up to $6,000 in rebates for apartment blocks on a range of energy solutions.

Residents in apartment units use approximately 25% more energy per person than stand-alone homes or town houses.

Our rebates are designed to support apartment blocks where they need it most to reduce their energy/water use. Whether you're a unit owner, strata manager, building manager or on the executive committee, we want to hear from you. 

If you have any questions, please email: sustainability@krg.nsw.gov.au
