Rates

Council rates are a contribution each ratepayer makes towards the cost of maintaining community infrastructure and the community services provided by Council. Rates revenue, along with Council's other income, is used to provide services and facilities for the enjoyment, benefit and safety of the whole community.

Rate and Valuation Notices are usually sent between July and September each year.
