The fund is to help people living within the DCC rateable area with a grant towards an electricity account.
In 1998 the Dunedin City Council Consumer Electricity Fund was set up in liaison with agencies providing budget advice services. There are certain conditions that apply before a grant can be approved.
There are two ways to apply. For residents who have a Community Services card, please contact Dunedin Budget Advisory Services for an application form.
For residents who are experiencing hardship but do not have a Community Services card - you will need to see a budget advisor at one of the following agencies for a budget assessment:
- Presbyterian Support Services
- Catholic Social Services
- Community Law
For contact details please check the Consumer electricity fund information document.
