This community consultation has now concluded. Thank you for your contributions.
All feedback will be presented to Council for consideration.
Under Section 122 of the Local Government Act 1999 councils are required to prepare a Long Term Financial Plan and review it annually. The Long Term Financial Plan describes how Council intends to fund the services and infrastructure provided to the community over the next 10 years. The plan is a critical part of Council’s financial planning process, as it helps guide decisions to maintain long term financial sustainability while meeting the needs and expectations of our community.
The Long Term Financial Plan is informed by Council’s Community Plan 2030 and Asset Management Plan, and brings the information from these strategic documents into a numerical representation that effects Council’s finances.
The Long Term Financial Plan centres around three Key Financial Indicators that provide an understanding of Council’s financial position:
Operating Surplus Ratio – is the Council raising enough income to cover day to day costs?
Net Financial Liabilities Ratio – at what level is Council covering its borrowing liability?
Asset Renewal Funding Ratio – at what level is Council managing its current assets?
