National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative ending

The National Rainwater and Greywater Initiative (NGRI) is officially ending.  An announcement made on May 10 by the Australian Government marked the end of the federally-funded rebates for installation of household rainwater and greywater systems.

Householders who purchased systems prior to May 10 2011 may still apply for the rebate but applications must be received before November 10 2011.

The NRGI guidelines and application form are available via the Department of sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities website www.environment.gov.au/water/programs/nrgi/index.html or assistance can be sought by calling 1800 218 478 or sending an email to nrgi@environment.gov.au.
