We’re planning for the future—and we want your input!
Council is inviting community feedback on the following key draft documents:
DRAFT Delivery Program 2025–2029 and Operational Plan 2025/26
DRAFT Budget 2025/26
DRAFT Revenue Policy (including Fees and Charges 2025/26)
DRAFT Long-Term Financial Plan 2025– 2035
These documents outline our priorities, services, projects, and financial planning to meet the needs of our community now and into the future. Your feedback will help shape how we deliver services and invest in our region over the coming years.
Please note: The 2025/26 financial year will mark the second year of the two-year rates rebalancing program, aimed at improving fairness and equity across rating categories. This program redistributes the rate peg from Farmland onto Business for two years only. Residential ratepayers will not see any change to the proportion of rates paid overall (beyond the standard annual rate peg).
HAVE YOUR SAY
SUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY COUNCIL BY 5PM, TUESDAY, 3 JUNE 2025.
Any feedback received will be considered by Council at a public forum and workshop scheduled for 10 June 2025, ahead of Council’s final decision at the June Ordinary Council Meeting scheduled for 30 June 2025.
