My property

There are many issues that accompany the ownership and maintenance of your home in the Shoalhaven. We are here to help.

Rates and payments

Council provides a wide range of services, which benefit the community. One of the ways in which Council funds these services is through their statutory power to charge Council rates.

Home improvements and renovations

Our goal is to protect and enhance our natural and developed environment and to preserve our quality of life for future generations. We do this by using appropriate development and planning controls.
