Plan options

If you choose to pay your rates in full, the total amount must be paid within 35 days of the issue date of your Rate Notice. The due date is indicated on the Rate Notice.

 

You can choose to split your rates into two or four smaller, more manageable amounts by paying in instalments. 

Please note, an administration charge of $12 for each instalment notice issued is applicable.

To pay by instalments, simply pay the applicable amount shown on your Rate Notice, by the instalment due dates. 

Important notes:

  • To opt for an instalment plan, pay the exact amount indicated for either the two-instalment or four-instalment option on your Rate Notice. This will lock the property into the chosen instalment option.
  • You can switch from instalment payments to paying the full remaining balance or setting up an alternative payment plan at any time during the financial year. Please note: The "cost of option" (as shown on your Rate Notice) must also be paid.
  • If you have locked into the four instalment option, missing two consecutive instalment payments may lead to the cancellation of your plan, requiring immediate payment of the full balance. Unpaid balances may lead to debt recovery action.
  • Overpayments on an instalment will be credited towards your next payment. Should you wish to request a refund of the overpaid amount, please note that an $11 administration fee (including GST) applies, which will be deducted from the refunded amount.
