Regional Weather-based Irrigation Controller Rebate

With up to 40% of all household water being used in the garden, installing a weather-based irrigation controller is an easy way to save water. 

A weather-based irrigation controller can detect if it rained or is about to rain and adjusts the sprinklers accordingly. This can reduce a household's total water use by up to 15% per year.

Albany, Dunsborough and Yallingup scheme water customers can claim a rebate of up to $300 towards the purchase and professional set-up of a new weather-based irrigation controller or component. If you're eligible, we will credit the rebate to your Water Corporation account. 

What does the offer include?

The Weather-based Irrigation Controller Rebate includes up to $300 towards the cost of:

  • The purchase of an eligible:
    • Weather-based irrigation controller, or
    • Weather-based component for an existing irrigation controller, or
    • Weather-based irrigation controller and component
  • AND a consultation and controller set-up by a Waterwise Garden Irrigator.

You must purchase an eligible product and have it set-up at your home to claim the rebate.
