Rates

Rates are a contribution by property owners to the cost of building and maintaining infrastructure and facilities, and to providing services for the community.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, there is a delay in distributing the printed and electronic rate notices for the 2025-26 rating year. 

We’re working closely with the rates notice service provider to ensure rate notices are issued as soon as possible.  

To give ratepayers more time to pay, Council will extend the due date for the first instalment to 15 October 2025. 

Please be aware that the due date on your rates notice for the first instalment will still be listed as 30 September 2025, as is required by legislation. However, ratepayers will have until 15 October to make payment. 

We apologise for the delay and inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
