Moyne rates now overdue
MOYNE ratepayers who did not pay their 2023/24 rates by May 31 are being urged to settle their debt or contact Moyne Shire Council to discuss a payment plan.
Moyne Shire acting chief executive officer Jodie McNamara said it was not too late for ratepayers to pay outstanding bills.
She urged anyone experiencing financial difficulties to contact council to avoid debt collection costs.
“Moyne Shire will mail final notices this week to alert ratepayers of their outstanding rates,” Ms McNamara said.
“Unfortunately, non-payment of rates eventually leads to extra burdens on all ratepayers.
“For this reason Moyne Shire will undertake to recover unpaid rates, firstly through issuing a final notice and then if necessary through other debt collection means.”
Ms McNamara said if residents were having difficulties paying rates, it was important they contact council to discuss a suitable payment arrangement.
She urged those ratepayers who might be experiencing difficulty to contact Moyne Shire’s rates unit on 1300 656 564.
