Fees and charges

As part of our continuing effort to improve the quality of services we provide to you, Hornsby Shire Council implemented a new corporate IT system in October 2016 making payments quicker and easier. The new system will reduce processing times and speed up repayments to our customers. As part of this change, we will no longer be able to refund payments by cheque, and instead will use Electronic Fund Transfers (EFT).

Payees will now be required to provide their BSB number, Account Number and Account Name as requested.

Payment refunds will be processed weekly, and most payments will be received within 7 days.

Fees and Charges 2023/24

The Fees and Charges 2023/24 (PDF 5.6MB) were adopted by Council on 28 June 2023. These fees will take effect from 1 July 2023.
