Application for rate remissions should be made to Council prior to the start of each rating year on 1 July. Rates staff can provide further details regarding each remission type.
Rating units owned or occupied by a non-profit organisation and used exclusively or principally for sporting, recreation or community purposes may qualify for the remission of certain rates upon the receipt of a written application made on the prescribed form.
Remission of specified targeted rates may be provided, upon receipt of a written application, where multiple rating units are owned by the same ratepayer and used jointly as a single farming property but are not contiguous.
