Annual Plan 2026-27
Council has a 10-year delivery plan, known as the Long-term Plan 2024-34, developed in consultation with the community in 2024. A Long-term Plan is developed every three years and sets out the services and projects Council will deliver for the community, including what these are expected to cost, how quality and performance will be assured, and how the community will have to pay for it.
In the years between, Council reviews what was proposed in the Long-term Plan for the upcoming year and prepares an Annual Plan. This Annual Plan formally sets Council’s budget and rates for the 2026-27 financial year which is year three of our Long-term Plan. It sets out (including any adjustments from the Long-term Plan):
- Rates for the 2026/27 financial year
- Overall budget impacts against key financial metrics
- Operating budgets for each area of council
- Investment (capital) budgets for each area of council
- Detailed forecast financial statements for the 2026/27 year.
The Annual Plan 2026-27 document, as below, was adopted by the Council on 30 June 2026.
