Welcome

As part of its commitment to dealing with climate change, the Australian Government’s Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts has created the Green Loans Program.

Over time, Green Loans will assist Australian householders to address energy, water and waste management in a number of ways. It will support householders to have a home sustainability assessment and report, carried out by a registered assessor, and provide access to a Green Loans subsidy from select financial institutions to “cover up to four years interest for borrowing of up to $10,000, to implement changes recommended in the assessment report”.

The Sustainable Communities Research Group in the School of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Tasmania has been asked to provide continuing professional development to home sustainability assessors involved in that program.
