Late payments
Failure to pay rate instalments by the due date will result in
interest charges of 10% pa calculated daily on the outstanding
balance. This percentage is prescribed by the Minister for Local
Government. Council utilises the services of an external debt
recovery agency for all outstanding rates and charges and seeks
ratepayer assistance in paying their rates by the due dates
Those people having trouble meeting payments should contact
Council’s Revenue Team on (02) 6499 2222 to make suitable
financial arrangements as early as possible and before the debt
becomes unmanageable.
Ratepayers should be aware that Council has the authority to sell
property for the recovery of outstanding rates.
