South Burnett Regional Council has maintained its policy of providing a 10 per cent discount for “early bird” ratepayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough Council has considered this from many angles, Council will again provide a 10 per cent discount to all ratepayers who pay their rates within 30 days of rates being issued,\u201d Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to the massive decrease in funding from the State and Federal government, Council was forced to look at every possible means to make up for the loss,<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much debate it was decided that the efficient ratepayers in our region needed to continue to be rewarded for paying early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finance spokesman, Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell said councillors were keen to reward people who paid their rates early. <\/p>\n

“The 10 per cent saving can really make a difference to a family\u2019s budget or to a pensioner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we have a mission to retrieve any outstanding and overdue rates, so it made sense to continue to reward those who do the right thing and pay their rates in a timely manner.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people are genuinely struggling to pay their rates and they contact Council in a timely fashion, our Finance Department will negotiate a payment plan with the ratepayer.\u201d<\/p>\n
