Hi Emma
There are many councils looking at how they can reduce or waive penalty interest charges or defer the third instalment until 31 August 2020.
Now we all know these are great initiatives to help the whole community but unless made by each individual ratepayer are mostly outside of the legislative framework.
The OLG have been in contact and have been asked to help with some guidance and investigate opportunities to enable these options via changes to the Regulations.
Will keep you posted as things develop.
Regards,
Andrew
