NYNGAN SHOW DAY PUBLIC HOLIDAY
Council has been advised that the NSW Government has approved a full day public holiday on Monday 6 May 2024 for Nyngan Show Day.
RATES AND WATER
The third rate instalment was due for payment on 28 February and these is now overdue.
Water meters are being read this week and water accounts will be issued by 31 March. Accounts will be due for payment by the end of April.
Please contact Council as soon as possible if you are having difficulties making your rates or water payments so that arrangements may be entered into. If ratepayers do not make contact, they may be referred to a debt recovery agent and further fees and charges added to their account.
All overdue payments also incur an interest charge of eight percent, calculated daily. Council may also install flow restrictors to water meters for ratepayers with overdue water accounts. This is a last resort option so to avoid this action please contact Council.
Payments can be made in person by cash, cheque and eftpos at Council between 8am and 4pm Monday to Friday. Customers can also use bpay, direct debit, credit card, or deductions from Centrelink. Please contact Council if you wish to discuss any of these options further.
