Community groups that want to improve their energy efficiency may be eligible for funding from the Federal Government through the ‘The Community Energy Efficiency Program’.

To be eligible you need to:

- Be able to obtain 50% of funding from non-Commonwealth Government Sources (can still apply to LotteryWest)
- Own , operate or lease the facility/site (if not the owner then written permission from the owner to implement the project is required)
