Insulation and ventilation work well together to provide a more comfortable home.

What funding is available?

Insulation - funding available - $1000 - $4500
Ventilation - funding available - $1000 - $7500

Eligible ratepayers can access funding at 6% from Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.  This is repaid over 10 years by way of a 'voluntary targeted rate' (VTR).  

This voluntary targeted rate is not a loan, and to get the funding homeowners / ratepayers need a good history of paying regional council rates.  Any existing VTR balance can be combined with a new one into a single VTR (one per property) sustainable homes combination, up to $20,000. 

You may not get approval from the Regional Council if there is evidence that adding the repayments will cause hardship. This is our responsibility in line with the guidance of the Consumer, Credit and Finance Act Amendment for responsible lending.
