7 Star Homes Program – Stream A: 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.
