Financial hardship

Hardship 

Council provides options for ratepayers who are in genuine financial hardship due to circumstances outside their control, to help manage the payment of rates:

  • We can provide a customised payment plan to better accommodate your requirements.
  • Short term or long-term deferral of rates.

All requests for rate relief must be made in writing and on the subscribed form, please apply below. 

Deferment of rates may only be granted on an annual basis. Applicants requiring longer deferrals will be required to reapply each year. All requests for rate relief will be treated as confidential.

Please complete our online form by clicking on the below link or call our Revenue Team on 5950 1080 for a confidential discussion.
