Waiver applied for by councils

Waiver applied for by councils

The Nasinu and Nausori Town Councils are seeking approval from the Local Government Ministry to waive rate arrears for some.

The two councils say this waiver, should it be approved, be only for those who are genuinely facing hardships.

Chief Executive, Anurashika Bari says the two councils are owed around 14 million dollars in unpaid rates.

She says the council has taken a huge number of residential ratepayers to court over non-payment of rates.

However, she stresses that there are a few ratepayers who are not in a position to pay their rates.

Bari says those ratepayers who owe the council below $5000 have been taken to the Small Claims Tribunal while the others have been taken to the Magistrates Court.

Bari reiterates that they need funds to improve their services.

She is also urging ratepayers to take advantage of the rates amnesty period.
