As we near the end of the current financial year, Council is putting finishing touches to operational and budget planning for the year ahead. Our draft Operational Plan and Budget 2025-2026 along with the draft Delivery Program, draft Resourcing Strategy and draft Annual Fees and Charges are now open for community feedback.
Together, these documents form the framework for the services, facilities and projects Council will deliver. There's also information about how we will manage community assets, long term financial planning and workforce planning.
The Budget includes details about a 15% increase to the Ordinary Rate from 1 July 2025. This is the second and final increase of the IPART-approved Special Rate Variation (inclusive of the 3.8% rate peg).
I encourage community members to review the documents published at trcnews.au/OperationalPlanAndBudget and then share your feedback with us by 12 June at 11am.
