Fourth Quarter Rates
13 May 2020
Council has been undertaking all essential services throughout the Covid-19 Alert period. These services, such as rubbish and recycling collection, waste and stormwater maintenance and drinking water treatment, and road repairs and maintenance are necessary to ensure that Westland Residents have a clean and safe district to live in. The rates on your property pay for these services and the staff who provide them. Fourth quarter rates payments are due by 30 May 2020.
If you believe that you will have difficulty paying your rates, please do not just stop paying. Contact Council at ratesofficer@westlanddc.govt.nz or phone 0800 474 834 if you would like to discuss your options – we want to help. More information is also available on our rates page.
