In-Person Payments (EFTPOS / Cash / NZ Post)
You can pay in person using EFTPOS (excluding credit cards) or cash:
- At our admin building at 30 Laings Road, or Wainuiomata or Kōraunui Stokes Valley Neighbourhood Hubs
- At selected NZ Post / PostShop locations — you will need your invoice for scanning. Check the store locator to see where you can pay your rates bill.
- At Greater Wellington offices: 100 Cuba Street, Wellington or 34 Chapel Street, Masterton.
Seven-Day Banking
Due dates remain the same. Banks and Payble process payments seven days a week. Hutt City Council updates rate accounts on business days, so payments will be recorded on the day paid but processed on the next business day.
