The Circular Head Council has advised ratepayers that they should start receiving rates notices from the middle of next week (Wednesday, 18 July).

General Manager Greg Winton said Council had this year introduced a new look with Waste Disposal Coupons now attached to the rates notice.

“Previously Council has had a number of residents that have reported losing their coupons so this new look will ensure that all ratepayers keep track of them,” Mr Winton said.

Council has determined to increase the general rate by 2.5%. A 4% discount will apply to those who choose to pay their rates by 31 August, 2012. Alternatively payments can be made in three instalments due on August 31, 2012, November 30, 2012 and February 28, 2013.

Rates notices can be paid by mail by including a cheque/money order or credit card details, via BPAY, in person at Council at 33 Goldie Street, Smithton or by phoning 6452 4800.
