Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common reasons I’d see a Town of Victoria Park charge on my bank statement?

Common charges from the Town of Victoria Park include property rates instalments, waste and service charges, parking or local law infringements, animal (pet) registrations, and planning or building application fees. You may also be charged for hiring a community facility or reserve, booking a sports ground, paying a swimming pool inspection fee, or obtaining permits such as verge crossover, verge parking, or event permits. If you made any payment via the Town’s website, over the counter at the Administration Centre, or by phone, it will typically appear under “Town of Victoria Park” or a similar descriptor on your statement.

Why am I still being charged after setting up a rates instalment or payment arrangement?

If you opted to pay your council rates by instalments or direct debit, you’ll see multiple scheduled charges during the financial year rather than one lump-sum payment. These payments continue until the full year’s rates, levies, and eligible fees have been paid, in line with the due dates on your rates notice. Check your latest rates notice or your payment arrangement letter/email for the instalment amounts and dates, or contact the Town’s rates team via victoriapark.wa.gov.au if you believe a payment has been taken in error.

How can I confirm whether a charge relates to a parking infringement or fine?

Parking and local law infringement payments to the Town of Victoria Park often match the penalty amount shown on your infringement notice and may be paid online, by phone, or in person. To confirm, locate your infringement notice number and compare the amount and payment date with the transaction on your bank statement. You can also use the infringement payment lookup or contact details on victoriapark.wa.gov.au to have customer service confirm whether the payment was applied to a specific infringement and whether any balance remains outstanding.

How do I cancel or change a direct debit arrangement for my rates or other council charges?

To cancel or amend a direct debit arrangement with the Town of Victoria Park, you generally need to complete a Direct Debit Cancellation or Amendment form or submit a written request to the rates team within the notice period specified in your agreement (commonly at least a few business days before the next debit). Forms and instructions are available on victoriapark.wa.gov.au under the rates or payments section. Until the Town processes your request, scheduled debits may continue, so contact them promptly if you need to stop or alter payments.

Can I get a refund if I paid the Town of Victoria Park by mistake or was charged twice?

Refunds are assessed on a case-by-case basis, depending on the type of payment and whether the amount relates to statutory fees, fines, or services already provided. If you believe you have been double-charged or paid the wrong account, contact the Town with your payment receipt, bank transaction details, and any reference numbers. The Town may request a refund application form and, if approved, refunds are typically processed back to the original payment method or via bank transfer within a set processing timeframe. Details are available from customer service or via the website’s payments or forms sections.

Why do I see a small or unusual amount from the Town of Victoria Park, such as a licence or permit fee?

Some Town of Victoria Park charges are relatively small and can relate to things like short-term verge permits, copies of plans, administrative fees, residential parking permits, or minor licence applications. These are usually once-off payments and should correspond to a form you submitted, an online application, or a visit to the Administration Centre or ranger services. Check your email for a receipt or approval notice from victoriapark.wa.gov.au, or contact the Town with the transaction details so they can identify the specific permit or fee.

Does the Town of Victoria Park place authorization holds or pending charges on my card?

Generally, payments to the Town of Victoria Park are processed as standard transactions, but when paying online or by card, your bank may show a pending transaction before it is fully settled. This can appear as a temporary hold for the amount you authorised until the payment is completed by your bank’s processing system. If a pending charge remains for an unusually long time or you see both a pending and a posted transaction, contact your bank first, then provide the Town with any relevant receipt numbers for clarification.

How can I contact the Town of Victoria Park about a charge I don’t recognise?

Visit victoriapark.wa.gov.au and use the Contact Us section for current phone numbers, email addresses, and online enquiry forms. When you reach out, provide the exact transaction date, amount, the description as it appears on your bank statement, and any possible related reference (rates assessment number, infringement number, animal registration number, or booking reference). Customer service can then look up the payment, explain what it relates to, and advise on next steps if you need a refund, correction, or more information.
