Rate-based assistance for non-profit groups

Council will consider applications for remissions of general rates, water access and sewerage charges for not-for-profit recreational, sporting and community organisations.

The applicant organisation must be the owner or lessee and occupier of the land with the rate notice being issued in the organisation’s name. The land must be used for the purpose of which the rating concession applies. Organisations that own, lease, manage or operate premises with poker machines are not eligible.
