2026/27 Draft Council Budget

Council has released its 2026/27 Draft Budget, Long Term Financial Plan and Pricing Register for community feedback following the May Council meeting.

Council’s annual budget process includes the development of our 2026/27 Budget as well as our Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) for 2026-2027 to 2026-2036. It has been completed following extensive community engagement.

The organisation’s financial focus remains operational efficiency and cost reduction to enable greater investment in community infrastructure and services. This can be seen in the consecutive record years of capital program delivery over the last three years. This includes new and upgraded assets across all classes including buildings, roads, playgrounds, and sporting facilities.

Residents are invited to provide feedback on the draft budget via our online survey with feedback closing COB 27 May 2026.
