Consultation has concluded
Council decision/outcomes
Council considered the feedback provided by the community and adopted the Annual Business Plan and budget for 2021-2022 at its meeting on 29 June 2021.
The feedback received will also be used to inform the 2022-2023 Annual Business Plan and Budget.

Changes made to the plan were related to the CWMS annual service charge for occupied properties serviced by the Council managed CWMS and not charged a SA Water sewer service charge. Council made the decision to reduce this charge from the originally $802 to $745 (meaning a $20 increase from the 2020-2021 charge).
Due to this change, the operating surplus reduced by $282,000, which resulted in the LED streetlighting capital project being reduced by this same amount to $262,000.

Background
The draft Annual Business Plan and Budget sets out our proposed projects, services and programs for the financial year and how we intend to fund them.
As part of the planning process, we invite the community to provide feedback on the draft plan for 2021-2022.
To fund this year's Annual Business Plan and Budget we have proposed a 2.7% rate increase, excluding any increases due to growth. This will provide $100.95 million in operating income.
In 2021-2022 we will continue to progress important projects by investing more than $24 million in community infrastructure, and will spend about $7.5 million on roads and footpaths. We have allocated a combined $3.1 million to building renewal and upgrades to ensure our existing buildings remain fit for purpose.
More information is available in the summary document and the draft Annual Business Plan 2021-2022, which include a list of proposed capital works.
