CASEY ratepayers could soon be able to pay annual rates in monthly instalments. Councillor Kevin Bradford wants residents to have the monthly amounts direct-debited from a nominated account.

Cr Bradford said offering monthly payments would be a simple change. But City of Casey director of corporate services Steve Dalton said the council would incur extra administration costs, and would miss out on receiving the interest it accrues on lump sum payments.
