Media Release - Financial Relief for Ratepayers Extended - COVID-19

In April 2020, Adelaide Plains Council adopted some financial relief measures for those impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Council has recently reviewed this arrangement and has extended the financial relief to ratepayers as follows:

• No fines or interest charged on overdue rates, from the date of application until 1 May 2021.
• Flexible rate payment arrangement options (weekly, fortnightly or monthly).
• Postponed payment of second and third quarter 2020/2021 rates (with no fines or interest) until, 1 May 2021.

Access to the financial hardship rate relief due to COVID-19 will be granted upon application. Ratepayers can make an application for financial relief by:
