Ceiling Insulation and Solar Hot Water

Ceiling Insulation and Solar Hot Water data is not included in the postcode summary as payments were made and lodged on a daily basis under the Home Insulation Program. On 19 February 2010 the Government announced that a new household Renewable Energy Bonus Scheme will assist households to save money on power bills and reduce their carbon emissions. This new Scheme will replace the Home Insulation Program and the Solar Hot Water Rebate Program.

Housing

The housing summary includes both Defence Housing Initiative projects and Social Housing Initiative projects.

Funding for dwellings in the identified location represents an estimate only of proposed Commonwealth funding. This amount does not take into consideration any other proposed funding or equity from either the State or Territory Government or not for profit/community housing providers. Variations in the number of dwellings identified in each location and the value of proposed funding may be revised in subsequent reports. The information is provided down to postcode level.
