Home and Community Care (HACC) clients in the Glenelg Shire are starting to enjoy the benefits of the Glenelg SAVES project, as the implementation phase begins. Over 300 HACC clients across the shire will be receiving energy efficiency improvements in their own homes from the project, funded through the Department of Industry as part of the Low Income Energy Efficiency Program. The home improvements are customised to the needs of each client, following the completion of a Home Energy Efficiency Assessment on the home. Working with local contractors in each town, internal and external blinds are being installed, lighting improvements made, and appliances upgraded to more energy efficiency models.
