The Social Services and Community Committee is seeking submissions on the Rates Rebate (Statutory Declarations)
Amendment Bill.
This bill aims to improve the process of applying for rates rebates. It proposes:
• Removing the requirement to make a statutory declaration when applying for a rates rebate to improve the accessibility
of the application process.
• Replacing that requirement with a requirement for authorities to verify the application in a way approved by the
Secretary for Local Government
• Allowing authorities to design application forms for rates rebates.
Tell the Social Services and Community Committee what you think
Make your submission on the bill by midnight on 27 November 2019.
