Support for Primary Producers
Published 23rd July 2025
Council acknowledges the severe impacts recent weather events (including low rain fail, drought, frost) have had on many of our district's primary producers.
As such, Council has reviewed its financial hardship provisions to assist eligible ratepayers through:
- Postponement / deferral of rates for up to 12 months without interest penalties.
- Interest-free payment agreements.
If your property has been affected by the current conditions, you may be eligible to apply for either of these assistance provision. Applications will be assessed sensitively, and all applicants will be informed in writing of the outcome.
For further information please view Council’s Debt Recovery & Financial Hardship Policy and Financial Hardship , or for a confidential discussion please contact the Chief Executive Officer on 8578 1004 or via ceo@dckem.sa.gov.au.
