What are the main changes to my bill? 

Our prices and charges are changing. An average business bill will increase by 3.38%*,  so we can continue to deliver and enhance our services to you.

Quarterly drainage

If you previously paid your Waterways and Drainage service fee on an annual basis, this is now quarterly. This means that this charge will be spread across the year.

Quarterly Parks charge

We’re spreading the annual Parks charge out across the year by collecting it in quarterly instalments. Helping you to even out your bills and making it easier for you to budget.

* Based on an average medium business with water usage of 1,000 kilolitres per year.
