Our Community, Our Plan.

Focus Area
As part of the public exhibition of the Draft Operational Plan 2025-26, we’re inviting the community to provide feedback on an alternative proposal to reallocate part of the general rate revenue to support the ongoing maintenance of services. The average impact of this increase on residential rate payers is $20 for the year.
Why are we planning?
The NSW Government requires all councils in NSW to plan ahead and to report on these plans and on how we are tracking in delivering them. This ensures transparency, and shows that we are accountable for our actions. This continual process is called Integrated Planning and Reporting, but we like to refer to it as Our Community, Our Plan; it’s made up of key documents that detail what we are going to do and how we will fund and resource what we have planned.
