Privacy statement

Personal information provided for the purposes of this program will be collected, used and disclosed in accordance with the Corporation’s Privacy Policy. Details of this policy are available on our Privacy Policy page.

Unfortunately, no. To ensure that the eligible weather-based irrigation 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 an invoice or receipt, that a Waterwise Garden Irrigator set up your controller to be eligible for the rebate. If you install the product yourself, you will not be able to claim for any part of the offer.

No. The rebated products are selected in consultation with industry and chosen only if they meet strict water saving criteria. Irrigation Australia and Water Corporation welcome suggestions on emerging products that may be considered for a rebate due to technology that assists with water efficiency.  

No. Unfortunately the rebate does not cover any other costs including any costs charged by an electrician to assist with the controller being installed.

You must send your Weather-based Irrigation Controller Programming Service Checklist that the Waterwise Garden Irrigator will fill out with you. This checklist must be signed by you to confirm the consultation and set-up has been undertaken. Checklists without a customer signature will not be approved.

All rebates will be processed as a credit to each customer’s Water Corporation bill as default. In exceptional circumstances we may consider alternative arrangements. Please advise us of a request for consideration when you submit your application form. 

If you have a Water Corporation account number at the property and have not claimed this offer for the property in the past, then you can claim this rebate for your rental property. If you will not be present when the Waterwise Garden Irrigator attends, please discuss the requirements with your tenant.

Yes. You can claim a rebate for up to 3 properties to ensure rebates are available for many customers.

This offer is only for Perth and Peel Water Corporation customers. If you live outside this area, other offers are available on our Waterwise Offers page.
