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).

This case study dives into the strategies and practical approaches that the council has adopted to keep their arrears in check with their ratepayers
