Payment Difficulties

If you are experiencing difficulties in paying your Rates, you may be eligible to enter into an Arrangement to Pay with Council. Acceptance of this Arrangement to Pay is subject to the following conditions:

  1. That the debt will be paid in full by either 30 June or 31 December, and
  2. That the debt is not currently being managed by Council’s debt collection agency.

No discount will be allowed on arrangements to pay and compound interest of 8.17% per annum will accrue until all outstanding amounts are paid in full.
