Pensioner Concessions
Last modified: September 8, 2008 - 8:38 AM
Under State legislation some pensioners are eligible for mandatory concessions (rebates).
The amount of the concession available on an annual basis is up to a maximum of $250 on all ordinary rates and domestic waste management charges. People who become, or cease to be, eligible pensioners during the year will receive a concession proportionate to the number of full quarters in which they are an eligible pensioner.
To be eligible to receive this concession you must satisfy the following criteria:
- You must be a ratepayer for the property you are making application
- You must possess a current pensioner concession card
- The property must be your sole or principal place of residence
Service Pensioners who are TPI or EDA are entitled to a concession even if they don't hold a Pensioner Concession card. War Widow Pensioners who do not hold a Pensioner Concession card may be entitled to a concession provided they meet an income and assets test. If you satisfy the above criteria, please download and complete the "Pensioner Concession Application Form" found below. The form can also be obtained by telephoning 02 4980 0393 (during business hours). The completed form can be returned to Council by mail or in person at Council's Administration Building.
