Paying your rates

See our direct debit page for more information about the benefits of setting up a direct debit.

Debit Card or Credit Card payments (using Mastercard or Visa) can be made at one of our offices or can be paid online. Payments by credit card will incur a 1.2% surcharge.

Pay direct to our bank account by selecting our payee name from your banks pre-loaded list. You may wish to set up regular automatic payments to pay your rates, please know this type of arrangement is not monitored and will incur late payment penalties if not paid by the due date. Set up a direct debit to avoid this.
