Rates Explained

Council in setting rates follows the results of the Revenue and Financing Policy that is contained in the Long Term Council Community Plan. View the policies.

Activities can have different funding mechanisms. It is also possible to have many different forms of rates applied where rate funding is considered necessary. Check the Revenue and Financing Policy and the Rating Policy for details, see the Rates Policy side bar menu option.

Some rates are value based but many are set on a uniform or area basis.

Council uses both Land Value and Capital Value for setting value based rates.

Council has used Capital value for many years.

We provide many different payment options. Council is very flexible in how it receives the rates payments. See the payment options above (How can I pay my Rates?).

Perhaps you may be eligible for a $550 rebate of your rates. Strict eligibility criteria apply. Read more about Rates Rebates.
