There's no fewer than eight different ways to pay your quarterly rates notice at the Borough of Queenscliffe. We highly recommend signing up to our eNotices service, which sends your bills directly to you via email and allows you to make payments over the internet, but there are also a number of alternate methods to suit every resident and ratepayer.

Online

Step 1.Via Credit Card Online

Pay by SecurePay or over the phone using your Visa or Mastercard. You will also need the Bill Number, found in the top right hand corner of your rates notice. Please ensure you check the Bill Number when paying online so payment is applied to the correct property.

Step 2.Via the internet using BPAY

Nearly every bank, credit union or building society in Australia allows you to pay bills via BPAY. Using your online banking website or app, find where to make a payment via BPAY and then enter the biller code 93906 and your Bill Reference Number shown on the front of your rates notice. Please ensure you check the Bill Reference Number when you are paying online so the rates are applied to the correct property
