Draft Operational Plan 2024-25

The Draft Operational Plan 2024-25 is now on Public Exhibition

We have over $358M worth of projects, programs and works planned for the 2024-2025 financial year. These are all mapped out in our Draft Operational Plan 2024-25 (Draft OP2024-25)

The OP2024-25 is our action plan for achieving the priorities that our community have identified, and that are outlined in Imagine2050, our Community Strategic Plan (CSP).

The OP2024-25 also helps us to achieve the commitments made in our four-year Delivery Program.

Key inclusions to consider

We’d like to draw your attention to the following proposed inclusions in the Draft OP2024-25:

• 0.0% Rate Peg (2024-25)
• New fees and charges include a proposed sports ground user fee
• The removal of the Town Centre Master Plan component of the Port Macquarie CBD Business Rate

We have provided a series of Fact Sheets to help simplify the document and we encourage you to read these prior to providing feedback. We have also highlighted some of the top projects across our region.
