Council publishes a fortnightly advertisement in the local paper, The Regional Independent. Below you will find the latest advertisement.
At the 27 November 2024 meeting, Council agreed to proceed with the sale of land for unpaid rates for eligible properties.
The sale of land for unpaid rates is a last resort for Council. All properties have a rates and charges debt that is more than five years old, and Council has made repeated attempts to contact overdue ratepayers to arrange payment. Of the original 38 properties, 26 are vacant land, 6 are houses, 3 are units, 2 are other structures and there is one business.
If you are affected or have any questions, please contact us at Ph 1300 735 025 and ask for our Rates team.
We understand this is a difficult and sensitive matter, and we remain available to assist anyone impacted by these actions.
Important Information About Unpaid Rates and Land Sales
Key Information
- Outstanding Debt: The total unpaid rates across these properties exceed $1 million.
- Legal Guidelines: Council is required to follow strict legislative processes to recover unpaid rates, including publishing this list as one of the final steps.
- Upcoming Auction: The properties are scheduled for public auction on 2 May 2025.
- Proceeds: If a property is sold, any proceeds above the unpaid debt will be held in trust and transferred to the owner or their estate if they come forward.
We have exhausted all avenues to contact property owners with unpaid rates that have been outstanding for more than five years. Numerous letters have been sent, door knocks have been conducted, and external agencies have been engaged to assist in finding these landowners. Despite these efforts, some owners remain uncontactable.
Many of the affected properties have been vacant for years or even decades, and most are vacant land. In some instances, there may be no living relatives, or the owners and their families may have moved overseas
What You Can Do
If you recognise someone who may own or have ties to these properties, please let them know. We are committed to working with owners to help them resolve their situation and remove properties from the auction list wherever possible.
Auction details
10am on Friday 2 May at the Queanbeyan Bicentennial Hall, 257 Crawford Street. The auction will be conducted by Ian McNamee and Partners who can be contacted on 6297 5555.
Outstanding rates and fees as at January 2025. List of properties last updated 25 March 2025.
