Payment
Proof of residency in the City of Vincent must be shown to be able to lease a plot (a current rates notice or utility bill showing your name and a City of Vincent address is acceptable). Once a plot becomes available you will be contacted for confirmation of your membership and payment. Once your application has been accepted you will be invoiced.
