Applications will be assessed in the order they are received. If additional information is required, the Department will ask you to provide it within five (5) business days of the request.

If the information is not provided within the nominated timeframe your application will be declined. You may reapply when you have all relevant information at hand.

This Program provides a rebate, so ideally the purchase and installation of permanent netting should be completed and fully paid for by the time you submit an application. Please note that self-installation is acceptable under the Program.

If you intend installing netting yourself, you may submit an application for reimbursement of costs associated with the purchase of materials and any labour, specifically engaged for the installation, that is additional to your usual workforce.

Applications for incomplete work or work that has not been paid for in full may be submitted, however approved funds will not be paid until proof the work has been completed is provided. You will have 12 months from the approval date to provide the relevant evidence to be paid the approved funds. Approvals not taken up within the 12 month period are likely to be cancelled.
