Yard rebates in Adelaide
4 programs can pay Adelaide residents for yard projects: 4 run by the council or the utilities that serve it. The largest, Green Adelaide Grassroots Grants for Landholders, pays up to $200,000 per household. 2 ask for a plan or plant list before they approve a project.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
