The following methods of payment are offered by Council:
eServices - Online Payments

Select the rates payment option from the "drop down" menu on Council's home page titled "Manly Council Online Services"
Customer Service Centre
Rate payments can be made in person at the Manly Council Customer Service Centre. Payments may be made by cash, cheque, credit card (excluding American Express & Diners Card) or EFTPOS.

Australia Post
Rates made be paid over the counter at any Australia Post office. The notice must be presented intact
Commonwealth Bank
Payments are no longer accepted over the counter at Commonwealth Bank branches. You will still able to come into Council and present the notice intact to the Customer Service Centre.
Direct Debit
Direct Debit allows your rates to be paid automatically from your bank, building society, or credit union account on the due date.
Council will send a notice to you before each installment as a reminder for you to check that your account has sufficient funds to cover the payment.
On the due date of each installment, Council will request your financial institution to automatically debit your account with the amount due. Failure to have sufficient funds to cover the transaction may result in you incurring a dishonour fee.
Most financial institutions do not charge for their direct debit service and accept debits on most accounts. However, we suggest you check with your financial institution on both of these matters.
In you wish to participate in the Direct Debit System you will need to complete an authority form. Return the signed and completed form, together with the detachable deposit slip portion of your rate notice, to Manly Council AT LEAST FOUR WEEKS prior to the installment due date.
If you are already utilising Council's Direct Debit System, there is no need to complete another form. Council has your details on record and will continue to debit your account unless notified in writing.
You may withdraw from the Direct Debit System at any time. Please deliver the signed authority to:
Manly Council, PO Box 82, Manly 1655 or Manly Council, DX 9205, Manly.
Mail Payment Processing
Another efficient payment option is our Mail Payment Processing arrangement.
Simply include your cheque with the detachable deposit slip portion of your rate notice (please avoid pinning or stapling the cheque to the deposit slip) in the re-usable self-addressed envelop and mail it to our processing address:
Manly Council Locked Bag No. W111
Sydney NSW 1292.
This facility is for the processing of rate payments only. Any other correspondence should continue to be posted to Council's postal address recorded on the front of the rate notice.
By selecting this payment option, for the cost of a postage stamp you will avoid wasted standing in bank queues.
