Case study: How Wellington Shire Council is keeping arrears in control and making ratepayers happier

Rate arrears across Victoria have jumped 32% since 2023. (Let that sink in for a second.) Wellington Shire Council has found a way to flip the script and manage their arrears more effectively. They're actually collecting their payments EARLIER than ever before. (For example, an extra $250,000 collected in April 2024 compared to previous years).
