Green Loans axed

[p38arover]

On 19 February 2010, the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts (Peter Garrett) announced changes to the popular Green Loans Program.

The Minister announced that the less popular loans component of the program will be discontinued next month. Loans will be discontinued from 22 March 2010. Note that eligibility for loans under the Green Loans program is determined by financial institutions subject to the lending criteria of the financial institution being satisfied.

So if you were planning to try for the interest-free loan, you don't have much time.

I found out about it when I received my household assessment today.

I don't have much time to organise anything if I want the loan. The loan idea was popular with me!

Was this the Sustainabilty Audit(?) where they come around to assess your house?

Better then the drop of the rebate for the solar hot water that went that night with the drop of the insulation rebate, you lose out $600 as they will only give you $1000 for the hot water

(luck have already ordered mine)

Yes, that was it.

Yes, that was it.

I thought it must have been some sort of scam. They called me & arranged to come out on the 14th Feb to do the checks. Even had a follow up confirmation call before the day.

They never showed so I wonder if they claimed something from the Government anyway by saying that they came out. I did a bit of a Google search tonight but couldn't find anything about reporting them.
