February 20, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba councillors have voted unanimously to extend the deferral of rate notice payments for eligible primary producers who are experiencing severe drought conditions.<\/p>\n

Mayor Paul Antonio said Council had no hesitation in extending the decision that was introduced in August last year to offer some financial relief to the region\u2019s eligible producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cA hot and dry summer has compounded many producers\u2019 immediate outlook and Council is well aware of the ongoing financial and emotional strains that exist across these communities,\u201d Mayor Antonio said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Toowoomba Region has been drought-declared for more than four years and unfortunately the short-term outlook does not offer the prospect of any substantial rain or a financial return for farming enterprises.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finance Committee chairman Cr Mike Williams echoed the Mayor\u2019s comments and said Council had a history of responding to residents who had experienced adversity due to extreme climatic conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision also means eligible residents are still able to receive their discount which normally only applies when a Rate Notice is paid within the first 31 days,\u201d Cr Williams said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
