The South Burnett Regional Council will put 32 properties – worth almost $4 million – up for auction to recover $358,000 in overdue rates.

At its monthly meeting today, councillors reluctantly agreed to support a recommendation by council officers that the SBRC commence a “sale for arrears” action after spending almost 10 months trying to get the property owners to enter into a payment arrangement with the council.

All the properties that will be put up for auction have three or more years rates outstanding.

Councillors were told that six property owners had recently entered into payment arrangements to clear their overdue rates bills and would have their properties removed from the list the council intended to action.

However, the remaining 32 property owners had failed to do so.

Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said councillors were obliged to make decisions in the best interests of the entire community, and also obliged to commence recovery action by the Local Government Act, however the decision to proceed wasn’t an easy one.

SBRC Finance General Manager Gary Wall told councillors that the decision to commence proceedings still wasn’t “the end of the line” for the property owners.

“While they’ll no longer be able to enter into an arrangement with council to pay off their arrears once we start proceedings, they’ll still have about six months to arrange finance with their bank or other finance providers,” he said.

“In fact, they can still pay off their overdue rates right up until about a minute before their property goes under the hammer.”
