Payble for Property Rates and Water Rates (recommended)
Ways to pay
Payments can be made via bank account, debit card or credit card.
There are three (3) types of payments:
1. Flexible payments
Rates can be paid off over the year via scheduled weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments with no penalties.
Payments automatically recalculate:
- in the new rates year
- if a payment is skipped
- if a one-off payment is made
2. Autopay
Rates are automatically paid each year on the due date.
3. One-off payments
Single payments can be made anytime during the year. These can be the full amount or made occasionally.
We recommend the “Flexible payments” option as it gives you the most control — you can see your balances, choose your payment day, skip a payment if necessary, or pay ahead when you’re able.
