Nidirect brings together lots of information from government departments and agencies, written in a language that is easy to understand. You don't need to know the workings of government to find what you are after.

In advance of contacting us, please read important information about your rate bill below.

Important points to note:

  • You have a legal and civic responsibility to pay your Rate Bill.
  • The money that you pay in rates contributes to the funding of public services.
  • Public services include council amenities such as recreational facilities, bin collection and tourism.
  • It also pays for regional services such as roads, education and healthcare.
  • Land & Property Services rigorously pursues the recovery of rates. If you do not pay your rates we will take you to court. This will mean:
    1. You will have to pay additional costs and
    2. Your credit rating may be affected.
    3. This can result in not being able to apply for credit or in some cases being made bankrupt.
