Message from the Mayor

It's hard to believe we are officially into the second half of 2025 and getting to work on the adopted 2025/26 Operational Plan and Budget, setting the service delivery, projects and works council will carry out in the coming year. It's a big year ahead with over $147.4 million in consolidated capital expenditure to improve essential infrastructure and more than $14m to improve and upgrade roads.
