In 2017, the Town trialed a Native Waterwise Verge Rebate to encourage residents to transition to a native waterwise verge. This program will continue to run in 2024.
By making the transition to a native waterwise verge, residents may be eligible for a rebate of $15 per m2 of converted verge, with a maximum claim value of $500. This initiative is proudly co-funded by Water Corporation's Waterwise Greening Scheme and forms part of our ambition for the Town of Cottesloe to be a leading waterwise community.
