Flexible payment options to help ratepayers
|
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart says help is at hand for residents and businesses facing difficulty paying their rates due to the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown.
“We’re here to help where we can and that includes offering flexible rates payment options,” Cr Stewart said.
“Council offers pensioner discounts and instalment options to help make paying rates more manageable for Noosa ratepayers,” the Mayor said.
“I urge our ratepayers to make the most of these options."
Mayor Stewart said Council was also working with a special Business Roundtable subgroup to investigate potential support arrangements for Noosa businesses should the lockdown continue beyond Sunday. Read more.
