Capital works projects
In order to ensure that our city is one were people enjoy living, working and taking part in sport and recreational pursuits, millions of dollars are earmarked each year to help maintain and upgrade our city’s infrastructure and facilities.
In 2023-24, we’ve earmarked $30 million for a variety of projects around environment, recreation, transport and buildings.
Projects such as road and footpath upgrades are an important part of where our rate dollars are spent to ensure that motorists, cyclists and pedestrians have safe roads, footpaths and effective traffic management initiatives.
Further funding has been earmarked for stormwater management projects to help keep roads and properties safe from water and flood damage, and funds are also being budgeted for our buildings, reserves, sporting facilities and parks to provide public places and spaces that people want to use.
More information can be found in our Annual Business Plan, Budget and Long Term Financial Plan.
