Ratepayers across the Gladstone Local Government Area have been meeting their obligations with outstanding rates almost halved over the past six months, from a peak of $27.1 million.
Since November 2020, when The Gladstone Observer reported on the outstandings, ratepayers have coughed up $13 million, reducing the outstandings to $14.1 million.
The latest figures were reported to Gladstone Regional Council during its most recent meeting.
Council is in a better position recouping rates compared to what was owed at the same time in 2020, with 7.66 per cent of total rates levied owed, compared to 8.77 per cent last year.
Residential ratepayers still account for the bulk of the outstanding rates.

A woman who stumbled across a long-lost friend from 50 years ago via a Gladstone Observer story on Google while reminiscing, wants to reunite with the “celebrity” Gladstone taxi driver.
It was the mid 1970s, when Jane Breslin and her younger sister Felicity made the monumental journey to London on a popular Australian pilgrimage and met Lorraine Foley.
The trio shared a flat in London, before undertaking the “road trip of a lifetime” around Europe.
This week, when Mrs Kane (nee Foley) stumbled upon a story about Ms Breslin’s taxi driving career, memories of their joyous times together flooded back.
