Pay your Rates in Advance

Are you aware that you can pay your rates in advance? Why not eliminate the burden of a lump sum payment by making regular advance payments towards your rates account using one of Council's payment methods below.

All payments received prior to the rates billing will appear on the rates notices as a balance brought forward and will be deducted off the total rates for the period.

Please note that Council does not pay you interest on your account if it is in credit.
