What are the instalment options?

Rates can be paid by the four instalment plan with payments due in September, November, January and March. The first instalment must be paid by the September due date on your notice and must include any arrears.

What if I cannot pay my account in full or by instalments?

Should none of the instalment options listed be suitable, ratepayers are welcome to approach the Shire with an alternative payment plan. This plan must be agreed upon by the Shire.  Please contact our Rates Officer on 9652 0800 to discuss your options.

What happens if I do not make a payment by the due date?

The Shire charges interest at a rate of 10% per annum calculated daily on any outstanding balance not being paid in instalments (excluding registered pensioners and seniors).

Overdue rates and charges may be recovered by legal action, the cost of which will be payable by the ratepayer and be added to the rates assessment.

What if I am in severe financial hardship?

If you are unable to pay your rates due to financial hardship, please contact our Rates Department on 9652 0800 as soon as possible to discuss your options.
