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.
