Frequently asked questions

We are offering the Waterwise Irrigation Rebate to promote efficient irrigation practices in residential gardens. The included services for the rebate have been chosen through consultation with Irrigation Australia and experienced Waterwise specialists and are proven to save water. We contribute funding separately for other initiatives including waterwise verge conversions.  

Weather-based irrigation controllers are a new generation of smart irrigation controllers that use current weather data to adapt irrigation schedules. These controllers can adjust based on rainfall, temperature and localised weather conditions, aligning with local regulations. This can help to reduce a household’s total water use. 

No. To ensure that the eligible controller is set-up and programmed in line with the watering roster and waterwise best practices, the work must be carried out by an endorsed waterwise irrigation specialist. You will need to have proof, in the form of a paid invoice or receipt and signed checklist that a Waterwise Garden Irrigator set up your controller to be eligible for the rebate.

No. It is very easy to choose products that are not quite right for your garden or for them to be set up incorrectly. By using trained specialists we can ensure optimal water savings can be achieved.  

Rebates will be reviewed subject to the terms and conditions of the program. If your rebate is approved, you will receive a credit (up to $200) to your Water Corporation bill account. In exceptional circumstances we may consider alternative arrangements and you must request this by emailing rebates@watercorporation.com.au. Approved rebates will be processed within eight weeks of the application date. 

You will receive an email from us advising that your rebate has been successful. Your rebate will then be credited to your account. Please note that your bill does not specifically reference the Waterwise Irrigation Rebate. We will contact you in writing to discuss any concerns regarding the rebate.

No. You can only claim once per property per program year.  

Yes, as long as the owner of the property hasn’t already applied for a rebate. Please note, that this rebate will be paid to the owner's account, as Water Corporation accounts do not distinguish between owner and tenant accounts – therefore we recommend speaking to the owner to ensure an agreement before proceeding.

Yes, you can claim a rebate for up to three properties to ensure a fair distribution of rebates.

Where one account number covers the entire building, only one claim per strata complex will be accepted.

Specific programs are developed for areas outside the metro region and information is available on our Waterwise Offers page.
