Contact us about rates

Corangamite Shire ratepayers having difficulty paying rates are encouraged to contact Council.

Director Corporate and Community Services David Rae said Council was mindful the Federal Government’s Jobkeeper and Jobseeker schemes were coming to an end in March.

“This will be a difficult time for some with the impacts of COVID and support programs finishing,” Mr Rae said.

“I encourage anyone experiencing hardship and unable to pay to call us and talk through options available.”

Corangamite Shire rates were due on 15 February, with final notices due to be sent out in the coming weeks.

Council adopted a COVID-19 Financial Hardship Policy in May 2020 to provide a temporary framework for financial relief to individuals, business and organisations who needed assistance from the impacts of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The policy was due to expire last November, however was extended until 31 May 2021.

To talk about paying rates, please call Corangamite Shire on 5593 7100.
