Rate & Utilities

Residential property owners receive their Rate & Utilities Notice twice a year, in February and August. The Notice includes both general rates and utilities charges (water, sewerage and rubbish collection).

The Notice issued in February covers half yearly rates and charges for 1 January to 30 June and the Notice issued in August covers half yearly rates and charges for 1 July to 31 December.

Council offers a prompt payment discount to the General Rate, and the Nelly Bay Harbour Development Special Rates, upon full payment of all rates and charges, including arrears, by the discount date shown on the Notice.
