    Finance program for environmental upgrades

    Environmental Upgrade Finance is a loan for non-residential building upgrades, enabled by your local council and repaid via quarterly council rates. With no up-front payments, your business benefits immediately from lower energy bills. Upgrades include solar panels, energy and water efficiency, waste management and more.

    How it works

    • Non-residential Brimbank properties can enter a loan agreement with Council, and a participating bank
    • Loans are paid back through property rates
    • This system provides security for the lenders, allowing them to offer very competitive terms including up to 100 per cent project finance, competitive interest rates and long term finance
