Wellington Region Scheme

We are currently reviewing the scheme’s structure and are not taking any new applications at this time.
We will update the home heating and insulation assistance page when we have more details.
The Regional Council is offering you an alternative to purchase insulation. As a ratepayer you can apply for up to $3,900 (including GST). This is paid back with interest over 9 years through your property’s rates. To see what you might be paying back, look at the table below. This increase on your rates will not start until a new rates year.
