Payment difficulties
To help ease the financial burden, payment by an agreed arrangement may be accepted under some circumstances. For arrangements to be made, ratepayers must contact the Rates Department on 07 4043 4825 before the Due Date shown on any Notice. All half-yearly agreed arrangements will be confirmed in writing. An arrangement may help in reducing interest charges and defer debt recovery action and the associated legal costs.
Advance Periodical Payments
Paying your Rates in advance can greatly ease the burden of receiving a large account on a twice-yearly basis. Advance payments may be made through any of the payment methods mentioned above. Please contact Council for details. Those who enter into the periodical payment arrangement are still eligible for their Rates discount as long as the entire account has been paid in full by the discount Due Date.
