The amendments to local government regulations include allowing councils to delay sending out the first quarterly rates notice for 2020-21 and extend the payment deadline by one month. In response to the change in Council’s statutory requirements in relation to the payment of rates, Council will be delaying the issue of the 2020/21 Annual Rate Notice until mid August 2020.  The due date of the first rates instalment this year will be 30 September 2020.
