The Australian Government new Solar Credit scheme for installation of Photovoltaic Panels is expected to reduce the amount of rebate in half, according to Catherine Pye, secretary of Mount Gambier's Community Action for Sustainability (CAS).
The old rebate scheme was covered by a means test. Under the new Solar Credit Scheme, it is proposed that the means test will be removed. The removal of the means test will increase the number of homes eligible for credits, and include community buildings and businesses in the new scheme.

The Solar Neighbourhood Project is still ongoing for those who submitted an application for the rebate under the old scheme.
However, for those waiting for the new Solar Credit Scheme to be introduced there is no news as yet. This is due to the deferment of the Renewable Energy Target (RET) legislation in the Federal Senate on the 17 June 2009. The RET legislation has been deferred to an economics committee that won't report back until mid August 2009.

The Mens Luncheon Group, or as they would have it, the "Lunch Bunch", began meeting a couple of years ago in an attempt to provide opportunities for men to enjoy some company over a meal and a "bit of a yarn". The idea began as the result of some conversations with interested parties around a table in the City Council rooms.
