We're inviting the community to have their say on the draft Financial Plan 2025/26 - 2034/35 - an important strategic document that outlines how Council will create and consume its financial resources over the next decade.

All Victorian councils are required to develop and maintain a Financial Plan under the Local Government Act 2020.

The Financial Plan 2025/26 - 2034-35 is a key tool for achieving our Community Vision and Council Plan. It shows how we will allocate resources over the next ten years, based on our policies and decisions.

Currently, the Plan indicates an ongoing financial challenge; however, we’re actively working on a Financial Sustainability Strategy, which will be presented to Council in December 2025 to explore options for a sustainable future.

The draft Financial Plan 2025/26 - 2034-35 is now open for public exhibition from now until Wednesday, 24 September 2025.
