Council has adopted Brimbank’s Year 4 Council Plan Action Plan, 10 year Financial Plan and Annual Budget for 2024-2025, following extensive consultation.
Thank you for helping to shape our Annual Action Plan, Budget and Financial Plan by providing your feedback.
In the coming year, we will focus on investing in the community and delivering essential programs and services that will further strengthen and build a resilient Brimbank community.
Our investment in the community
In 2024-2025 Council will invest $263.3 million into operations, to deliver 76 diverse services for our community. These range from arts and culture, and maternal and child health, to statutory planning and urban design.
It includes spending an increased amount of $17.6 million on parks and trees, $25.6 million on waste services and $13.9 million for Libraries, Arts and Culture and our Neighbourhood Houses and Community Centres.
We’ll also be investing $58.7 million in capital works to deliver key projects and priorities that will help shape our future and build a city we can all be proud of. Highlights include:
- $27.9 million on roads and drainage upgrades
- $5.2 million towards playgrounds, parks and gardens
- $2.1 million for walking and cycling paths to connect our city
- $18.8 million towards improvements to community facilities, including sports and early learning facilities
- $0.9 million for a range of assets, including $825,000 for library books, and
- $3.8 million for cyclical replacement of plant and vehicle fleet.
Our priorities are to strengthen community connections, foster mental and physical health, reduce the impacts of climate change and contribute to the overall liveability of our city.
Council has delivered a financially sustainable budget while facing significant financial challenges such as climate change, cost of living pressures, ageing infrastructure and increased landfill levies, and a State Government rate cap of 2.75%, well below CPI.
The Budget, together with the Annual Action Plan, will help contribute towards our vision for a transformed Brimbank that is beautiful, thriving, healthy and connected.
