OFFICIAL RELEASE: Speedy payment of Blacktown City Council rates could win a lucky ratepayer a speedy experience.
The major prize in this year’s Council’s Ratepayers’ Reward Program is a high speed driving experience at Sydney Motorsport Park, Eastern Creek.
“The entire ratepayer rewards package is spectacular, and includes some pretty exciting and entertaining prizes,” said the Mayor of Blacktown City, Councillor Stephen Bali.
“This year’s rates will be spent to bring some compassion back to council, as well as bringing down our maintenance backlog and providing the standard services that ratepayers expect.
“Once Council budgets primarily focused on roads and rubbish, but the community expects – rightly – that we should do more than this as well as give something back.
“This year’s budget has a series of provisions that make life a little easier for pensioners and facilities that faced closure some time ago are being continued as a result of strong ratepayer demand.
“Council has listened, learnt and acted,” Mayor Bali said.
To be eligible to go into the draw for prizes, Blacktown ratepayers must pay their rates in full by 31 August, 2015 and the winners are chosen by random selection.
