Major Projects in our Plans for 2025/2026
We're planning significant projects to enhance our community, including:
- A substantial $11.6 million Capital Works renewal and improvement program for roads, bridges, and footpaths (subject to SRV outcome).
- Development of a Stormwater Drainage Strategy for urban areas.
- Implementation of Water and Sewer Strategic Plans.
- Updating the Economic Development Strategy.
- And much more! (See full list in the draft plans).
Draft Annual Budget 2025/2026 & Special Rate Variation (SRV) Update
Council has applied for a Special Rate Variation (SRV) to help us deliver the services and projects our community needs. Two draft budgets have been prepared – one based on SRV approval and one without. Your feedback on our overall plans is crucial, and we will provide further updates on the rating strategy in June following the SRV decision.
