How do I change, cancel, or stop future recurring payments to the Shire of Narrogin?

Most Shire of Narrogin payments are one-off, but some—like rates instalment plans or direct debits—may be set up to recur. To change or cancel an instalment or direct debit arrangement, you usually need to complete a variation or cancellation request with the Shire, which can often be done by contacting the rates or finance department using the details on their website. You should also check with your bank if you’ve set up scheduled BPAY or automatic card payments and cancel those directly through your online banking.

How do I request a refund or correct an overpayment to the Shire of Narrogin?

If you believe you have been overcharged or paid the wrong amount, contact the Shire of Narrogin as soon as possible with your receipt, statement screenshot, and any related notice or invoice. Refunds and adjustments are assessed under the Shire’s policies and relevant legislation, so processing times and eligibility can vary depending on the type of charge (for example, rates vs. facility hire). The finance or customer service team can advise whether a refund, credit to your account, or reallocation of the payment is appropriate and what form you need to complete, if any.

Why do I see a small or temporary Shire of Narrogin charge that later disappears or changes?

In most cases, the Shire of Narrogin processes fixed, known amounts based on your notice or invoice. However, if you paid online or by card, your bank may initially show a pending authorisation or temporary hold before the final amount settles. This can appear as a separate or slightly different figure for a short period. If a pending amount doesn’t clear or is different from the approved payment, contact both your bank and the Shire with details so they can investigate.

What are common amounts for Shire of Narrogin charges, and how can I tell if mine is reasonable?

Common Shire charges range from smaller fees (such as animal registrations, infringements, or facility hire deposits) through to larger amounts for property rates, which can be several hundred or more depending on your property and payment schedule. To determine if your charge is reasonable, compare it with your latest rate notice, fee schedule, or renewal letter from the Shire. If the amount does not match any documentation you have, contact the Shire’s finance or customer service team with the transaction details for clarification.

How can I contact the Shire of Narrogin about a charge on my statement?

Visit narrogin.wa.gov.au and go to the ‘Contact Us’ or ‘Administration’ section to find the current phone number, email address, and office location.
