According to the Local Government Act “ A person may apply to a Council for the waiver of the whole or part of any rate or charge or of any interest imposed for late payment”
After recent contact with Warrnambool City Council we were advised that they have no official process for dealing with applications to waive rates due to hardship. In fact they do not have an official hardship policy!
In order to apply we suggest you copy and paste the following into an email, add your details and send to:
Email: contact@warrnambool.vic.gov.au
To Whom It May Concern,
I wish to apply for my rates to be waived not differed due to hardship caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
