The City of Mount Gambier has released its Draft 2026/2027 Annual Business Plan and Budget, along with the Draft Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) 2027 - 2036, for community consultation.
Together, the documents outline Council's service delivery priorities, key projects and financial framework for the year ahead while ensuring our long term financial strategies support our city growth and enable the city to be fit for the future.
The Draft 2026/2027 Annual Business Plan and Budget proposes restrained expenditure across operational services and capital works and continues Council's strong focus on asset renewal, prudent financial management and intergenerational equity.
City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin said the draft plans demonstrate careful planning during a challenging economic environment.
"These documents show how Council is balancing day to day service delivery with planning for the future, especially as rising costs beyond our control continue to have an impact," Mayor Martin said.
"We're seeing increases in fuel, materials and construction costs flowing through to the services and projects we deliver, so our focus is on maintaining what the community relies on while continuing to invest in Mount Gambier and ensuring the city is fit for the future."
