The Queensland Government has provided a one-off discount of $55 for properties who are billed by:
Urban Utilities
- Unity Water
- Redland City Council
- Logan City Council
- City of Gold Coast
The discount is equivalent to approximately 13/2 kilolitres of water & will be issued before March 2023
Tenants do not automatically receive the discount.
As the Lessor receives the water bill for an eligible rental property, the Lessor will receive the discount. If a tenant pays for water usage as a term of their 18a general tenancy agreement, the discount should be passed on to the tenant.
