Urban stormwater upgrade progresses to procurement

The Narrandera urban stormwater upgrade has reached the procurement stage, marking another important step towards delivering the project's main drainage system.

As part of the tender process, contractors and members of the project team will attend a mandatory site inspection on the afternoon of Thursday 17 September 2026.

Changes to DEFT payment options

Following recent changes by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), card companies including Visa and Mastercard have announced they’ll prohibit businesses from charging customers a surcharge on card payments.

As a result, from Thursday 1 October 2026, DEFT payments by credit or debit card will no longer be available as a payment method. This change applies to both one-off payments and recurring direct debit arrangements set up with a card.

Customers can continue to make DEFT payments via BPAY, deft.com.au and through Australia Post.
