Fourth instalment rates notices will be sent in the first week of May, with payment due on 25 May. We know no one wants another bill right now, however, rates are essential to keeping our communities running (like getting water to your home, keeping our roads safe, providing civil defence and much more), so not charging rates is not an option.

Council offices are closed during Level 3, but you can find information about other ways to pay at mpdc.govt.nz/rates/payment-options if you are going to struggle to pay this bill, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.
