The past few weeks SPACE has been receiving alot of calls regarding this great sustainability offer, people want to know how much it will cost, what is it?, what do they need to do?, tenants are in a panic thinking the owners are selling.
Please let me explain exactly what it is and what you need to do.
The assessment is a free initiative of the federal government in an effort to reduce Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. The assessment will look at your property’s current water and energy use and will provide a report, showing the current sustainability of the property and identify opportunities to reduce energy and water use.
Once this report has been received it will entitle you, for 6 months, if you so choose, to apply an approved commercial bank to obtain an interest free green loan of up to $10,000 to implement any of the opportunities identified in the report. If you choose to implement some of changes in the report, it will likely result in lower electricity costs thus making your property more attractive to rent.
Tenants please don’t worry about having the house sold from under your feet as our owners of the properties are only having this done now as it is free a service at the moment and will be compulsorily to have a Sustainability declaration if they choose to sell there property later on down the track.
