2024/2025 Draft Budget, Fees and Charges, Delivery Program and Operational Plan, Resourcing Strategy and associated Resource Plans

Council is consulting with the community on its suite of Draft Integrated Planning and Reporting Plans for 2024/25, including the:

1. Draft 2024/25 Budget,

2. Draft 2024/25 – 2027/28 Delivery Program and Operational Plan (including the Draft Capital Works Program for 2024/25, the Draft Revenue Policy for 2024/25 and the Draft Fees and Charges for 2024/25), and

3. Associated Resource Plans that help support the Draft 2024/25 – 2027/28 Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

The Draft 2024/25 Budget has been developed with three principal objectives in mind:

• Maintain existing services and service levels;
• Achieve a balanced budget; and
• Ensure Council’s financial position and performance is sustainable in the long term

Importantly, the Draft 2024/25 Budget includes a budgeted operating surplus of $79k (essentially a balanced budget). This figure excludes capital grants and contributions.

We welcome feedback from the community on our suite of integrated planning and reporting documents, those being:

• Draft 2024/25 Budget
• Draft 2024/25 to 2027/28 Delivery Program and Operational Plan
• Draft Resourcing Strategy
• Draft Long Term Financial Plan
• Draft Asset Management Plan; and
• Draft Workforce Management Plan

Also attached is a 'Draft 2024/25 Budget Overview' which provides a quick snapshot of Council's financial position, major capital projects to be undertaken during 2024/25 and the wide range of sustainability levy funded projects earmarked for 2024/25.
