Illustration for Local Government (Rating) Act 2002

When some laws are changed, old laws are repealed or revoked. You can find the list of old laws that are repealed or revoked in the Schedule 6 link. The old laws still apply for some things, like collecting rates for the years ending on 30 June 2003 or before. This means you still have to pay rates that were set before the new laws started.
