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’.
