Draft Operational Plan 2024-25

Public exhibition now open

At the Council meeting on 23 April 2024, it was resolved to put the draft Operational Plan for 2024-25 on public exhibition for community feedback. The Operational Plan highlights the activities and capital works projects, budget, rating structure and fees and charges for the 2024-25 financial year. 

The Operational Plan is prepared annually to set out a roadmap for Council’s deliverables against its services and in line with the five themes of the Community Strategic Plan (CSP)- belonging, smart, green, responsible, and liveable. The Operational Plan includes: 

  • Information about the area 
  • Planned actions and capital works projects 
  • Financial position  
  • Statement of revenue 
  • Fees and charges 

This plan focuses on transitioning back to an elected body, as well as continuing financial stability and strengthening the community confidence through service delivery. It is proposed that in 2024-25 Council will receive $723.5M in operational revenue and spend $712.8M on services and operational functions. Council’s capital works program invests $309.9M to renew and upgrade existing assets.

Below is a map of the draft Works Program 2024-25 which includes suburb specific projects. Projects classified as 'Region Wide' are not able to be included on the map, but details can be viewed in the Draft Operational Plan 2024-25.
