Tune Up Canberra
Tune Up Canberra was a $2 million dollar-for-dollar ACT Government grants program offering financial incentives to encourage owners of commercial office buildings to make their buildings more energy and water efficient.
Owners of Class 5 commercial properties with more than 500m2 in gross floor area could apply for Stage 1 or Stage 2 funding.
Note: The program has now closed
Stage 1: Preparation of a Tune Up report
In Stage 1 owners applied for a grant of up to $8,000 (GST inclusive), to be matched dollar-for-dollar by the owner, to complete a Tune Up report.
The report identified:
- current energy and / or water usage (the building’s existing baseline)
- how energy and / or water savings can be made
- what energy and /or water savings can be made, and
- the cost of achieving these energy and / or water savings.
Stage 2: Application for capital works funding
In Stage 2, the owner applied for up to $100,000 (GST inclusive), to be matched dollar-for-dollar by the owner, to undertake agreed capital works based on the findings and recommendations of:
- the Tune Up report prepared during Stage 1 or
- an independently produced report recently commissioned/produced by the applicant which contains similar content to a Tune Up report.
Note:
- Successful Stage 1 applicants were not necessarily successful in Stage 2.
- If building owners already had an independent report they could apply immediately for a Stage 2 grant.
