Depending on what information was provided at the time the bond was paid, Bonds are generally refund via a cheque sent to the applicants address unless otherwise advised/requested. Bank guarantees are released to the issuing bank. If you have an enquiry relating to refund of your bond you cab raise a request to Council to advise.
