What projects does Community Savers support?
Under Community Savers, up to $40,000 funding is available for not-for-profit organisations such as community groups, rural organisations and local clubs, to undertake simple, low-cost water and energy upgrades in the facilities they occupy. Examples of eligible projects include, but are not limited to: • projects which improve the efficiency of buildings and appliances – e.g. lighting upgrades, installation of skylights, insulation for cooling and heating efficiency, ceiling fans, solar reflective glazing • projects which reduce electricity consumption and/or peak demand – e.g. hot water system upgrade to gas, solar or heat pump • projects which reduce drinkable water demand from a reticulated water supply network – e.g. dual flush toilets, irrigation system upgrades, water recycling, rainwater tanks, stormwater harvesting • education activities which have the potential to increase the adoption of efficient technologies and behaviours.
