Council has prepared a Budget for the 2017/18 financial year which seeks to balance the demand for services and infrastructure with the community’s capacity to pay. The 2017/18 Annual Budget and Strategic Resource Plan will be on public exhibition from 28 April 2017 to 26 May 2017.

The Proposed Budget at a glance:

  • Overview

Overall budget of $150 million

Operational Budget (Service delivery) $114 million

  • Rates and charges

For 2017/18, the combined Council rates and changes for an average property in Manningham with a standard waste service is projected to increase by 2.16 per cent or $41.51.

  • Capital Works

The Capital Works program for the 2017/18 year is budgeted to be $35.83 million, and is funded through $27.60 million (77 per cent) of Council’s cash (or rates), $3.97 million (11.1 per cent) from developer contributions, $2.87 million (8.0 per cent) from external grants and $1.39 million from asset sales. The capital works have been set and prioritised through the development of sound business cases and ongoing community and stakeholder consultation (view key projects included in this years program).

  • 2017/18 Strategic Objectives

The budget includes a range of operating services and initiatives to be funded that will contribute to achieving the strategic objectives as specified in the Council Plan. The services provided per $100 of your rates table shows how Council proposes to allocate its expenditure across its main services.

  • Financial sustainability

A high level Strategic Resource Plan (SRP) for 2017 to 2021 has been developed to assists Council in adopting a budget within a prudent longer term financial framework. The key objective of the SRP is financial sustainability in the medium to long term, while still achieving Council’s strategic objectives as specified in the Council Plan.
