Due dates for rates

Important changes to due dates in FY20/21 

Rates are paid every year and can be paid in full or by quarterly instalments.  Due to the financial impact of COVID-19, the due date for paying in full has been extended by 1 month. This extension also applies for the first quarterly instalment. See below:

If you are paying in full, your rates are usually due on or before 31 August each financial year. This year, your rates are due on or before 30 September, 2020.  If your payment is made via direct debit, please note that it will be deducted on 30 September (not 31 August) and ensure there are sufficient funds in your account at that time.

Payment dates for quarterly instalments are:

  • 1st Instalment – 30 September (If your payment is made via direct debit, please note that it will be deducted on 30 September (not 31 August) and ensure there are sufficient funds in your account at that time)
  • 2nd Instalment – 30 November
  • 3rd Instalment – 28 February
  • 4th Instalment – 31 May
