Rebates are available for small businesses with a current ABN, that employs 20 or less employees and is connected to an urban reticulated water system and is charged a non-residential/commercial tariff.
The small business rebate amount is based on the total expenditure by the business on eligible products and their installation. The small business rebate is based on 50% of expenditure up to a maximum of $2000.
An eligible small business can make only one rebate claim for improving the water efficiency of the business. If a business installs $3000 worth of eligible products including installation, the business would receive a rebate of $1500. No further rebate can be claimed by this business. The rebate program aims to assist businesses in maximising their water savings by installing the best eligible products to replace inefficient ones and in the quantity needed.
Several of one product can be installed or several different products can be installed to maximise the water savings. All works and installations must be completed prior to making a claim, as only one successful claim can be made.
To be eligible for the rebates described in the schedule of products you must have purchased and installed your products after 19 July 2011 and before 30 June 2013. Claims for all rebates must be submitted by 30 September 2013.
