Yard rebates in Hobart
3 programs can pay Hobart residents for yard projects: 3 run by the council or the utilities that serve it. The largest, Hobart Native Vegetation Rates Rebate, pays up to $604 per household.
Utility programs only apply to that utility’s customers, so check who supplies your water and power.
