Rebates
Sustainability Victoria is working with registered builders and land developers to design and build 7-star NatHERS rated homes.
This includes:
- $4,000 rebates per home, for up to 4 homes built, to assist with upgrade costs
- as-built verification assessment to ensure homes are built to achieve the same efficiency rating as designed
- 6-to-7-star training, online and in person, to support the design process and to upskill employees
- exclusive sales and marketing training designed especially for selling energy-efficient homes.
Stream A rebates are now fully subscribed. Visit Participating builders to view the list of builders and land developers who are collaborating with us to build 7-star homes.
