Each year, Council develops an annual budget that outlines how we will fund the delivery of projects, programs, and many different services to our community.

Section 94 of the Local Government Act 2020 (LGA 2020) requires that Council prepare and adopt a budget for each financial year and the subsequent three financial years by 30 June each year. Section 96 requires that Council undertake community engagement around its budget in a form that is consistent with its Community Engagement Policy.
