Sustainability Rebates
Ballarat residents are able to claim some of the cost of buying reusable cloth nappies, period and incontinence products and maternity breast pads. The program aims to help with the cost of buying these sustainable items.
All rebates for the Electrify Your Home Ballarat trial rebate has now been fully allocated, and the program is closed.
