Eight additional categories were available in 2023-24 as part of a one-year trial. These were added to help provide actionable support for residents ready to take further steps towards sustainability - and came from an action in the July 2023, Climate Emergency Response report.
The additional categories provided funding for: switching from a dark to light roof, installation of housing insulation, rainwater tank purchase, indigenous plants, home EV charging station, switching from gas to electrical appliances, energy monitoring equipment and home energy assessments.
Evaluation is underway, from which we will determine which if any of the categories are added for next financial year (2025-26).
