Only 12–14% of Whitehorse's animals were registered under the old paper-based renewal process. See how self-service QR renewals, auto-reconciliation and set-and-forget payments turned that around in a single renewal cycle — and what it freed up for staff.

Auto-renewal sign-ups
Residents opted into set-and-forget registration so next year's renewal is guaranteed, with nothing to remember.

Non-payment down from 10% to 7.3
Automated reminders and repair links mean more residents pay on time, without a single door-knock.
Reconciliation fully automated
Payments auto-reconcile through BPOINT into Pathway, freeing staff for data quality, education and pet reunification.

Raji Jayakumar, Continuous Improvement Specialist at Whitehorse City Council, led the shift from paper-based renewals to self-service — and shares what it meant for her team's workload.

Hutt City managed rates the same way for 25+ years. Arrears hit 5%. Direct debit stalled at 44%. Then they went live with Payble - and processed $5.5M across 21,354 plans without staff loading a single one.

In this roundtable, council leaders unpack the four federal budget measures squeezing local government and the four levers councils can act on now to protect cash flow and financial sustainability.
