Small Environmental Projects Fund (SEPF)

In 2021/22 and 2022/23 the SEPF provided funding to local schools to participate in the Solar my School Program. As a result of their participation Oak Flats Public School and Lake Illawarra South Public School installed 29 kW and 34 KW systems respectively achieving a combined saving of 78 tonnes of CO2-e per year.

Most recently the SEPF has provided rebates to Shellharbour residents to support the uptake of sustainability products including rooftop solar, solar batteries, heat pump hot water systems, induction cooktops and electric vehicle chargers.  A total of 88 rebates valued at approximately $29,500 were provided as part of rounds 1 and 2 of this program.
