Concessions
 
Options

Concessions are available for eligible customers. The level of concession is $136.50 ($68.25 for water, $68.25 for sewerage) for the full year 2010-11. In 2011-12 the concession will increase by 10 per cent to $150.15 (about $75.00 per service).

If a customer receives either a water service or a sewerage service, but not both, this amount is reduced to $68.25. Eligible customers are those who fall into one or more of these categories:

1. those that were eligible to receive a Pensioner Rates Remission from your local council at 30 June 2010; and/or

2. those that hold a:

  • Pensioner Concession Card issued by Centrelink; or
  • Health Care Card; or
  • Department of Veteran Affairs (Gold) Card.

In most cases the concession is shown on your account. If there is no reference to a concession and you believe you are entitled to one under the categories above, it is necessary to complete an application form and send it to the relevant corporation.

The application form is available on the corporation's web site or one can be mailed to you if you request it from your regional corporation.
