We are currently updating the 2026/27 Fees and Charges, which come into effect from 1 July 2026. During this update, some information on this website may not reflect the current adopted fees. We appreciate your patience while these updates are completed.
An example of a calculation of rates and charges for 2026/27 for a residential property with a land value of $687,000:
*The land value charge, which is calculated using your property's land value and the applicable 2026/2027 Ordinary Rate in the dollar for your rating category (see table below).
To get an estimation of residential rates, please enter your land value below as a number and press the Tab key. Please note this is an approximate rate calculator and does not constitute a formal calculation of your rates. The calculation assumes the annual charges listed in the table above.
(Note: enter land value as numerals e.g.: enter $687,000 as 687000)
Council's ordinary rates consist of two components: a base amount and an ad valorem amount (a rate in the dollar applied to the unimproved land value of each rateable property). The table below is just the base rate: waste, water, wastewater are also included in your rates notice (see following tables).
