 Property rates are calculated based on the value of a property and are collected to fund a range of essential local government services, including waste collection, road maintenance, parks and recreational facilities, and community programs.

The collection of property rates provides the financial resources needed to maintain and enhance these services, helping to support the quality of life enjoyed by residents, ratepayers, businesses, and visitors throughout the community.
