COMMUNITY DROUGHT PLANNING WORKSHOP

All community members are welcome and encouraged to come and provide input into making the Bogan Shire viable, strong and resilient for future generations. This workshop is hosted by the NSW Government Regional Drought Planning Team. For further information and to book a spot contact Melissa Salter at Bogan Shire Council – 6835 9000.
RATES AND WATER
Second quarter water accounts were due for payment on 31 January. The third instalment reminder notice for rates will be issued this week and they will be due for payment on 28 February.
Please contact Council as soon as possible if you are having difficulties making your rates or water payments so arrangements may be entered into.
If ratepayers do not make contact, they may be referred to a debt recovery agent and further fees and charges will be added to your 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 if they have not made arrangements for payment. This is a last resort option.
Payments can be made in person by cash, cheque and Eftpos 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.
