APPLICATIONS FOR THIS REBATE ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED, BUT WILL OPEN AGAIN SOON.
The City of West Torrens is currently providing a Tree Incentive Rebate from 29 September 2023 to 30 June 2024. The rebate provides an opportunity for property owners (and tenants) to receive a rebate on the purchase and planting of a shady tree to enhance shading and cooling of the private realm in West Torrens.
The City of West Torrens recognises the need to create a green and cool city to counteract the loss of trees and shading occurring in the private realm and to create a liveable city by building resilience to a drier climate with more heat waves.
Examples of trees that have been planted with the rebate include lemon, orange, avocado, ornamental pear, maple, and crepe myrtle.
Applications will be processed on a first come, first serve basis until all funding is exhausted. Funding is subject to Council's annual budget processes and accordingly the funding is limited.
