Have Your Say: Draft Asset Management Plans and Long Term Financial Plan
These plans are essential components of Council’s strategic planning framework, ensuring sustainable financial and asset management for the future.
The draft Asset Management Plans outline how Council intends to maintain and manage key community assets cost-effectively while delivering agreed service levels. These plans detail financial and technical elements, including replacement cycles and funding requirements, covering three main areas:
- Bridges, Stormwater, Kerb and Channel
- Roads, Footpaths, Car Parks and Traffic Devices
- Land, Buildings and Open Space.
The draft Long Term Financial Plan provides a 10-year financial outlook, setting targets for expenditure, debt levels, and financial sustainability. It also identifies major projects planned for the coming decade.
Have Your Say
Community consultation on the draft plans will run from Monday, 31 March 2025, until 5pm on Wednesday, 23 April 2025.
