Rates

Council rates and levies help fund essential local services like road maintenance, waste collection, water and sewerage, libraries, community facilities, parks, and other community activities and projects.

Rates and charges apply for the financial year from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
You may be charged a general rate or a minimum general rate based on your property’s valuation, provided by the Department of Resources. Council sets out its general rates each year in the Rating Category Statement.
