Sustainable Apartment Program

The Sustainable Apartments Program is an ACT Government initiative that provides tailored advice and planning support to help apartment buildings in Canberra begin their electrification journey.

The Program provides tailored, building‑specific advice to help owners corporations understand electrification options for their building. This includes guidance on technical feasibility, renewable energy generation, electric vehicle charging, replacing gas systems with efficient electric alternatives, and indicative costs.

Support is flexible and tailored to each building’s needs. It could include:

• general advice and indicative costings informed by demonstration projects
• a comprehensive service at no cost, including a site assessment, tailored electrification pathway and recommendation report
• ongoing guidance on equipment options and costings or external reports to help ensure best‑practice electrification outcomes.
