Sports and Recreation

Rate relief is available for premises which

  • are occupied for the purposes of physical recreation at an amateur level; and
  • make significant contribution to health care.

Relief is provided at a reduction of the normal rate by 80% of the rates due on qualifying facilities, which means  that part of the property which is used solely for the  recreation.  Bars are excluded.

To qualify a  club, society or other organisation, which must be 'not for profit', must occupy a property  at least part of which is used solely for the purpose of a ‘prescribed recreation’.

You can access a list of ‘prescribed recreations’

An application form for sport and recreation rate relief can be obtained from any of our offices.
