Categorisation of Land

The rating category or sub-category is shown on your Rate Notice. If you don’t agree with the category we have given your land, you or your agent can ask for a review.

A request for a review must be in writing on an "Application for Change in Category of Land Categorisation for Rating Purposes" form which is available from Council’s Customer Services Section, or you can phone Council’s Rates Section on 9840-9700 and ask for the form to be posted, or faxed to you.

Of course, if the category of your property is different to that shown on the Rate Notice, it is your obligation to notify Council of the correct category.

If you are dissatisfied with Council’s declaration of the category of your land after it has been reviewed, or the date the category of your land is to take effect: you may appeal to the Land and Environment Court within 30 days after the declaration is made, under Section 526 of the Local Government Act, 1993.
