City of Cockburn - Wetlands to Waves

Senior Security Subsidy

The Seniors Security Subsidy Scheme is operated by the City of Cockburn.  Eligible properties are residential homes located within the City's borders, and applicants can either be the property owner, an agent authorised to act on their behalf, or a tenant with signed consent from one of these persons.

The City has sought assistance from a number of accredited companies to be involved in the project.

The ONLY items to which a subsidy is applicable are home intruder alarms, door dead bolts, keyed window locks, security sensor lighting, security doors, window screens and door viewers.  The subsidy is paid directly to the company, with the applicant paying the balance of costs.

The dollar-value subsidy offered depends on the item, and was calculated by the City based on the lowest price of the companies quoting to standard specifications.  Applicants are permitted to install and seek quotes on higher specification or different style products from the approved companies to suit individual requirements (eg. More advanced alarm, different quality window grille, etc.), however the subsidy amounts will remain as detailed in the table below regardless of the cost or company selected.
