EasyPay is the Councils' preferred payment option. With this option you are granting limited authority to the Council to debit your bank account on the due dates.
Payment options:
- Fortnightly payments - are made every second Friday
- Monthly payments are made on last day of each month
- Quarterly payments are made on the due date of the instalment
If the due date falls on a non-business day, the payment will be made on the next business day.
