3.      Electronic Delivery Option

As postage costs increased significantly as at 1 January 2016 we have been encouraging
residents to have their rate notice e-mailed. When the levy was issued 2,053 properties, or
6.6% of the total notices issued, were set up for electronic delivery. In the week following
the issue date we have received an additional 100 requests, with many people taking
advantage of the online registration form on our website.
