Budget and Financial Plans

Annual Budget

The Annual Budget 2025-2026 was endorsed on 23 June 2025 and is our key annual financial plan, designed to deliver essential services while investing in the city’s future. 

Developed through extensive community consultation, the Budget outlines how Council will fund the delivery of our Action Plans, support the strategic goals of the Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025–2029 and maintain financial sustainability through responsible investment. 

In response to ongoing cost-of-living pressures, this year’s Budget includes targeted support measures – including the Local Support Package – while continuing to fund vital services and infrastructure. 

Under the theme Stronger Together, the Budget reflects our shared commitment to supporting the wellbeing of our city – ensuring Council remains responsive to community needs while planning for long-term growth.
