Pay your rates

About

You can pay your rates online, in person, or in instalments. Rates are calculated for the financial year. Your 4 instalments are due on the same dates each year:

  • 30 September (extended until 15 October 2025)
  • 30 November
  • 28 February
  • 31 May

Pay your rates

You pay your rates in 4 instalments (as per s167(1) & (2) of the Local Government Act 1989).  If your instalments are paid late, you may be charged interest.

If you want to pay all 4 instalments at once, you must do so by the due date of the first instalment (30 September). We do not allow any other lump sum payments of rates.

Check your rates notice for instalment amounts. We send you a reminder notice before each instalment is due.

If you are struggling to pay your rates on time you can request a rates payment plan or apply for financial hardship
