For now, rate payments for the City of Casey are still due. But Council appreciates that many people face challenges in paying their rates.
Council will provide flexibility to affected customers where possible. If you are unable to make payments by the due dates, please contact Council as soon as possible. We'll help you make arrangements and discuss potential relief options.
If you have elected to pay your rates in a lump sum (annually), payment is due on or before 15 February, 2021.
Affected ratepayers can also submit payment plan arrangements online. Several options are also available for paying rates. These include BPAY and credit card by phone or via our website.
We are available to answer your questions by phone or email.
