This project is now closed. Read Council's adopted 2023/24 Budget on our website


The draft budget is a significant document for Council as it sets the organisation’s fees and charges for the next year, along with the capital works program and the money spent on community services and resources to deliver these services.

Council has worked to minimise rate increases and have prepared the Draft Budget based on a three per cent increase in the average rate per property. This is below the increase allowed for under the State Government’s ‘Fair Go Rates’ legislation.

This year’s Draft Budget provides $12.70 million capital works program, together with $3.49 million carried forward from 2022/2023. This includes $8.315 million in roads, $1.417 million for bridges, $465,000 for footpaths and cycleways, $855,000 for drainage, $1.429 million for recreation, leisure and community facilities and $448,000 for parks, open spaces and streetscapes.

Council is now seeking feedback on the 2023/24 Draft Budget. The community encouraged to make a submission via the submission link below.

We’re also calling on the community to have its say on its favourite projects in the Pitch My Project Initiative.

This is the third year Council has run Pitch My Project – which aims to make sure Council is funding the projects and initiatives that matter to the community.

Through the Pitch My Project initiative we have funded more than 20 community projects, and this year we’ve allocated $300,000 to projects across the shire.
