Draft Hardship Policy

The policy outlines the options for ratepayers and debtors seeking relief from rates due to financial hardship. Council may grant relief in the form of postponement of rates, refer the ratepayer to see an accredited financial counsellor, or negotiate a flexible long term debt ratepayer arrangement. Assistance does not include rate rebate or remissions.

Copies of the Draft Hardship Policy are available for public inspection during ordinary office hours at the Council’s main office located at Royal Circus, Robe, and by electronic means listed below
