Gosford City and Wyong Shire Councils have introduced rebates to encourage more residents and businesses to save our town water.  Rebates are available to those connected to the town water supply.

Rainwater Tanks

The value of the Council rainwater tank rebate depends on the size of your rainwater tank:

• 2,000 – 3,999 litres - $150
• 4,000 – 6,999 litres - $400
• 7,000+ litres - $500
• depending on your connection, an additional rebate of $300 or $500 applies to tanks with an internal connection by a licensed plumber to supply a toilet and/or washing machine.

Households and other water users whose rainwater tank is internally connected are subject to Level 2a water restrictions.

Central Coast residents are now able to receive additional NSW Government rainwater tank rebates regardless of their connection to the town supply.

Residents can apply for all the rebates directly through their local Council.

Water Efficient Washing Machines

Central Coast residents who buy a washing machine rated 4.5 stars and above after 1 October 2008 can apply for a NSW Government washing machine rebate.

Applications forms for these rebates are available at all Council Customer Service Centres and Libraries or from www.environment.nsw.gov.au/rebates.

To qualify for the new washing machine rebate residents must buy the machine for use in a residential property. Other conditions also apply.

Greywater rebate scheme

A rebate scheme for the installation of greywater treatment systems is available to residents connected to the town water supply.

The rebate scheme allows residents who install a greywater treatment system to their existing home and connect it to the toilet and/or washing machine to apply for a rebate of up to $1000.
