Collection of Council's rates is essential to the funding of services and capital works. To encourage this, Council offers a discount on current rates where rates are paid in full by the first installment due date.

You may choose to pay your rates in full on or before the first installment date, or by four installments.

• Installment 1 - 31 August 2023
• Installment 2 - 31 October 2023
• Installment 3 - 28 February 2024
• Installment 4 - 30 April 2024

Any ratepayers who are experiencing genuine difficulties in meeting these dates can apply for alternative payment arrangements by contacting Council's Rates Officer or completing and submitting an Application to Extend Payment of Rates.

Pensioner Rate Remission

Under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1993 , a ratepayer may apply to council for remission of all or part of the rates paid or payable. To be entitled to apply, the Local Government (Rates and Charges Remissions) Act 1991 , requires that a ratepayer must be an eligible pensioner and must occupy the property as his or her principle dwelling on or prior to 1 July of the rating year. To be an eligible pensioner you must have:

• A Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card, or
• A Department of Veteran’s Affairs Repatriation Health ‘Gold Card’ which bears the inscription ‘War Widow/Widower DVA’ or ‘TPI’, or
