Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems Grants

The Department of Housing, Local Government & Heritage have grants available to homeowners towards the cost of remediation, repair, upgrading or replacing of their failing Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems, (DWWTS) which are also known as septic tanks. There are three different situations in which grants are available:

1. Your DWWTS has failed an inspection carried out under the National Inspection Plan (NIP).
2. Your DWWTS is located in a Priority Area for Action as referenced in the current draft River Basin Management Plan 2022-2027.
3. Your DWWTS is located in a High Status Objective Catchment Area (HSOCA) as referenced in the current draft River Basin Management Plan 2022-2027.
