Why do you pay rates?
Councils help local communities run smoothly. Narrabri Shire Council administers various laws and regulations to help maintain and improve services and facilities for our community. These services include community services, sporting and recreation services, environmental planning and protection, public health and waste services. The rates you pay allow us to fund these services.
