On 27 January 2011 the Prime Minister announced that from 1 July 2011 the LPG Vehicle Scheme will be capped at 25,000 claims for each financial year for the life of the scheme.

The cap forms part of the Government’s saving measures to support the rebuilding of flood affected areas across Australia.

The LPG Vehicle Scheme grant amounts will not change.

How the cap will operate:

When the cap for a financial year is reached no more grants can be paid for that year.

For example if the cap is reached in mid-May 2012 no more grants could be paid until 1 July 2012.

This does not mean that people who have converted their cars or bought LPG vehicles after mid-May 2012 will miss out.

Applications for the LPG Vehicle Scheme grant can be made up to 12 months after a car has been converted or purchased.

Using the example above, applications for a grant for cars converted or purchased from mid-May 2012 to 31 June 2012 can be made and paid from 1 July 2012.

The following grants are available subject to program eligibility criteria:  

Grants for LPG conversions of registered vehicles:

Grant	Conversion Completed
$1,250	Between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2012
$1,000	Between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2013
$1,000	Between 1 July 2013 and 30 June 2014
