As a bonus, we’ll enter you in our quarterly draw to win $350 credited to your rates account when you sign up to receive your future rates invoices by email.

If you also choose to pay your rates by Direct debit (either weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly), the prize will increase by $150 to a total of $500 to your rates account, as long as your rating account is up to date at the time of the draw.
