Share your budget priorities for the next financial year!
Every year, the City of Point Russell develops an annual budget that aligns with our Council Plan and works to benefit our community, our places, and our services. The budget includes funding for roads, footpaths, and drainage, our open spaces, waste and recycling collections, major infrastructure upgrades, the running of our libraries and leisure centers, and support for local businesses and services that support all members of our community.
The annual budget consultation process is one of the ways that our community can have a say on how and where the Council should invest to boost services and infrastructure, as well as how we ensure a fair and sustainable base to fund this.
The budget consultation encompasses the following core service areas of responsibility:
- Roads, footpaths and drainage
- Recreation services and facilities
- Parks, reserves and gardens
- Planning, building, and local laws
- Community centers and halls
- Waste and recycling services.
- Aged care and family services
- Corporate services
- Environment
