Financial Plan 2023-2033

The Financial Plan seeks to achieve the following objectives:

  • Maintain the existing range and level of services
  • Target investment to address Council's Declaration of a Climate Emergency
  • Maintain a strong cash position, ensuring Council remains financially sustainable in the long-term
  • Achieve underlying operating statement surpluses in the majority of years
  • Maintain debt levels below prudential guidelines
  • Continue to pursue recurrent grant funding for strategic capital funds from the state and federal governments
  • Maintain appropriate levels of investment in renewal capital to reduce the escalating risk and maintenance of ageing infrastructure. Asset renewal projects will be prioritised over expenditure on new assets.
