Ministerial Guidelines relating to payment of rates and charges
In October 2022, the Minister for Local Government asked for our initial views on Ministerial Guidelines relating to ratepayers experiencing hardship.
We provided the Minister with a paper setting out our initial views on 24 February 2023. This paper set out our views on the definition of hardship, key principles that should underpin an effective approach, the content of the hardship guideline, and the implementation and embedding of good practice.
Our paper was published 15 August 2023 on Engage Victoria as part of Local Government Victoria’s consultation on draft Ministerial Guidelines relating to payment of rates and charges. For more information on the consultation, visit Engage Victoria.
