  4. The total amount due and payable to the Council with respect to rates (including fines and interest) presently outstanding in relation to the Land as at 17 August 2026 is $9,589.75.
  5. The Council has incurred legal costs in issuing this notice. Pursuant to section 184(11) of the Local Government Act 1999 (SA) ("the Act"), the Council is legally entitled to recover the costs of the sale and any other costs incurred in proceeding under section 184 of the Act from any sale proceeds following a sale of the Land. Please note, there are likely to be more costs incurred by the Council in respect of moving forward with the foreshadowed sale of the Land in the event that there is a failure to comply with this notice.
  6. Pursuant to section 181(8) of the Act, a fine of 2 per cent of the amount of the instalment is payable once the instalment is regarded as being in arrears; and on the expiration of each full month from that date, interest at the prescribed percentage of the amount in arrears (including the amount of any previous unpaid fine and including interest from any previous month) accrues.

THE COUNCIL HEREBY DEMANDS THAT: You immediately make payment to the Council of all monies due under this notice of $9,589.75 with respect to rates and other moneys charged on the Land, full particulars of which are set out in the schedule below. AND TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT: If You fail to make payment of the total amount due pursuant to this Notice THE COUNCIL WILL OFFER THE LAND FOR SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION at a date and time appointed by the Council, after the expiration of one (1) month from service of this Notice.

If You are currently occupying the Land, and do not move out before the Council is entitled to sell the Land, the Council may sell the Land whilst You remain in occupation of it. This may affect the sale price achieved and thereby affect any amounts owing to You upon completion of the sale. Please note that pursuant to section 184(9) of the Act, if, before the date of such an auction, the outstanding amount and the costs incurred by the Council in proceeding under section 184 of the Act are paid to the Council, the Council must call off the auction. This notice is served pursuant to section 184 of the Act.
