Did you know? 6 February

You may be eligible for a rates concession on your Whitsunday Regional Council rates. If you own and live in your property as your principal place of residence, and it is used for single residential purposes, you could qualify for a lower general rate category.

Applications for the concession must be made by the discount date listed on your upcoming rates notice. In addition, eligible pensioners may now also apply for a pensioner remission on their rates for the second half of the 2025/2026 year.

Pensioners who are already in receipt of the concession and whose situation has not altered need not reapply.  For more information, head to Council’s website.
