At the June Ordinary Meeting of Council, the 2026-2027 Council Budget and Financial Plan were unanimously adopted.
This budget was created for our community by our community. We thank all those who took the time to share their priorities, send in submissions and contribute to these financial documents.
A significant capital program of $5.832 million will be delivered, with investment focused on renewing and improving the assets that underpin our community's livability and economic strength.
On a cash basis, the Budget is balanced and maintains a zero‑debt position, including a transfer of $276,000 of unallocated cash surplus to the general reserve for future use. Despite higher costs for materials, goods and services, the Budget does not rely on drawing down existing reserves.
Mayor Grigau said "Good governance is not valued by how much money we spend, but the value we deliver. This budget reflects that principle...we're investing today to ensure the Borough remains a great place to live, work and visit into the future."
