Rate Payment Options

You have a number of alternatives for the payment of rates:

Payment in Full by the Due Date

If not electing to pay rates by instalments, Council must receive payment in full by 31st August, to avoid incurring daily interest charges.

Payment by Four Instalments

Rates instalment due dates are as follows:

• 31 August;
• 30 November;
• 28 February; and
• 31 May.

If paying rates by instalments a reminder notice will be sent one month prior to the instalment due date.

Failure to pay by the due date will incur an interest charge. Interest accrues on a daily basis at 9% p.a. on rates and charges unpaid after the due date.
