Rebates
The City of Canterbury Bankstown is empowering residents to adopt initiatives that make a positive impact on the environment.
Building Better Bin Bays
Reduce litter.
Increase recycling.
Add value to your building.
Canterbury-Bankstown Council and the NSW Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) are offering rebates of up $10,000 under the Building Better Bin Bays Program. Funds are available to apartment buildings to improve the functionality and safety of their waste storage areas.
Eligible buildings can use the rebate to assist in covering the costs of:
• Completing a Development Application (DA)
• Demolition of previous waste infrastructure
• The construction of new DA approved waste storage areas.
Who can apply?
- Apartment blocks with communal external waste storage areas, or where an absence of infrastructure results in bins being stored on driveways or grass.
- Buildings approved prior to 2012.
- Either a Strata or Community Title properties; build to rent, boarding houses or other single private owner properties are ineligible.
- Preference will be given to smaller buildings where the financial burden of improvement works per unit is more significant.
How to apply
Once you have approval from your strata committee, click 'Apply Now' to complete the application for pre-approval. If your application meets the eligibility criteria, Council will contact you to begin the process.
This program is made possible with grant funding from the NSW Government Waste Innovation Fund.

Up to 2 weeks from claim approval.
