Queensland
The Queensland Government's Solar hot water rebate scheme finished on 30 June 2005.
No state rebates are offered at the present, however the Queensland government in 2007 announced the phasing-out of electric hot water systems commencing in 2010. From 2010, Queenslanders who need to replace their household hot water system due to breakdown will no longer be able to install electric systems, and will instead have to choose from gas, solar or heat pump options. Prior to this, the Queensland government had already banned the installation of electric hot water systems in newly constructed houses; a law which came into effect on 1 March 2006.
The Brisbane City Council offered a rebate of $400 from 30 August 2008 to 1 June 2009. This program is now over.
