2011-12 Operating Plan and Budget

Council's 2011-12 Operating Plan, Budget and Fees and Charges was adopted in June 2011 after a thorough process of development and community consultation.

Our Operating Plan sets out every activity undertaken by Council to deliver an engaged, green, healthy, liveable, moving, prosperous and vibrant city. Our Budget (which includes our proposed fees and charges) is a prudent budget which has been based on a rate increase of 2.8% as determined by IPART. The budget includes:

• $12.4 million expenditure on waste management;
• $9.9 million expenditure on open space and foreshore;
• $9.2 million expenditure on local roads, paths and bikeways maintenance and renewal; and
• $764,000 expenditure on drainage projects.

Council will report progress against the Operating Plan and Budget on a quarterly basis.
