If ratepayers do not make payments or contact Council for a plan they may be referred to a debt recovery agent and further fees and charges added to the account. All overdue payments also incur an interest charge of 8 per cent, calculated daily which also adds to the debt. Council may also install flow restrictors to water meters for ratepayers with overdue water accounts as a last resort.
Payments can be made in person by cash, cheque and eftpos at Council between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday. Payments may also be made by bpay, direct debit, Credit card, deductions from Centrelink. Please contact Council if you wish to discuss any of these options further.
