Concessions
Pensioner Concessions
An eligible pensioner may be entitled to a rebate on Council
rates and water and effluent charges where applicable. Application
forms, which include information on the concessions, are available
from Council at the contact locations listed on the first page.
They are also available from the SA Water Corporation and its
District Offices or the Department of Human Services. An eligible
pensioner must hold a Pension Card, State Concession Card or be a
T.P.I. Pensioner. They must also be responsible for the payment of
rates on the property for which they are claiming a
concession.
Applications are administered by the State Government. Payment of
rates should not be withheld pending assessment of an application
by the State Government, as penalties apply to unpaid rates. A
refund of rates will be paid to an eligible pensioner if Council is
advised that a concession applies and the rates have already been
paid.
Unemployed Persons Concessions
The Department of Human Services may assist with the payment of Council rates for your principal place of residence (remissions are not available on vacant land or rental premises). Please contact your nearest Department of Human Services office for details.
