Council covers a huge area with a limited rates base, so every dollar counts.
On Council, we will:
- Be transparent about Council’s budget and how your rates are being used
- Ensure that community money is spent on the things the community values: roads, parks, the environment, thriving public spaces and facilities, and support for those in need.
- Stop wasting money on those things the community has said are a low priority.
- Hold public meetings each year to determine our budget priorities as part of our commitment to participatory democracy.
- Increase local procurement and local employment and training so your rates stay within the local economy
