Well, Sunshine Coast ratepayers
will shortly be receiving their rate notices in the mail. We have
slready been advised that there will be substantial rise in rates cost.
It is worth remembering that if rates are paid by ratepayers before Friday 21 August there is a early payment discount available.
Those ratepayers who cannot make payment by the due date - don’t worry. It is possible to enter into an arrangement with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council to be able to pay by instalments.
By paying by installment may mean that you do not get the early payment discount, but as long as the relevant conditions of the arrangement are met, council will not charge any interest on this current half-year’s rates.
For convenience the Council has arranged a number of different payment methods.
Pay online with Post Billpay – choosing to pay online via council’s website means you can make your payment securely at anytime of the day or night in the comfort of your own home or office.
Residents can also choose to pay via BPay with participating financial institutions.
Those who do not have access to the Internet still have the convenience of paying by credit card over the phone. Phone 131 816 from anywhere in Australia and follow the prompts.
Customers can pay in person at any branch of Australia Post – by cash, cheque or from your nominated account or pay in person at one of council’s customer service centres, between 8.30 am and 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday.
Customers can also mail their cheque or money order to their local Sunshine Coast Council office.
For all online or over-the-phone payments, your customer reference number is located on your rate notice.
For more information about your rate notice, contact your local council office or visit council’s website which is shown on the rate notice.
