Register Now - Water and Rates Notice Available Online

Residents of Moree Plains Shire can register to receive, pay and keep a digital record of Council water and rates notices through Payreq MyBills, an online platform.

Acting Direct of Corporate Services, Andrew Probert, has comments on the benefits of digital water and rates notices, “Online billing reduces paper waste, save costs on return mail, provides residents with instant delivery and is an easy, no fuss way to pay and keep a digital record of bills.

“Residents will continue to receive water and rates notices in the mail if they do not opt into the online method and payment can continue to be made over the phone or by visiting Council’s Customer Service Centre”, said Mr Probert.
