Bendigo Heritage Kitchens, Outdoor Alfresco, and VEU Rebates
Bendigo's goldfields heritage homes frequently have original 1950s-1970s kitchen additions that are the natural first target for renovation. Bendigo's warm summers (regularly above 40°C) also create strong demand for alfresco kitchen and outdoor entertaining areas, unlike Ballarat, Bendigo summers are warm enough to use outdoor kitchens extensively from October to April. Victoria's VEU program may provide rebates for replacing gas with induction in Bendigo kitchen renovations, ask your kitchen renovator about VEU eligibility when replacing gas appliances. Confirm all engineered stone is post-July 2024 compliant. vba.vic.gov.au
