What is a rates lump sum payment penalty remission?
We offer a formal rates lump payment option to ratepayers who can afford to repay their rates
arrears by a lump sum payment. If their application is approved Council will remit the current and
historic penalties on their rates account - leaving only the rates balance to repay.
You will need to complete and sign a Rates Lump Sum Payment Penalty remission application form and
an Easy Pay Direct Debit form and submit it to Council for consideration.
In accordance with the terms of this arrangement, we require you to enter into a direct debit
arrangement with Council to repay your current and future rates.
You can make these payments either on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis.
Payments from your chosen bank account will be made on time, which means no penalties and no
dates to remember moving forward.
By honouring all your future direct debit payments - you will not have to worry about being in
arrears again.
