The $781 million Budget commits to delivering essential services for our community today and investing for future growth.
In 2024–25, we also return to surplus – a year ahead of schedule – due to a number of prudent financial decisions.
Cost of living has been front of mind through the development of this draft Budget as we continue to deliver core frontline services, along with free and affordable services our community rely on.
