The $34.7 million budget aims to balance community needs against cost of living pressures, while minimising rate increases. In summary, the council is proposing a $7.4 million capital budget, and $27.3 million operating expenditure resulting in a deficit of just under $201,000. Council rates are proposed to increase by an average of 3.5% across all categories. For residential ratepayers, this will mean an average increase of $67 compared to last year.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions, get more information or make a verbal submission on the draft plan at the public information session on Thursday, 7 June 2018 from 6.30pm in the Council Chambers at 1 Bay Road, Victor Harbor.
All feedback must be received by 5pm on Tuesday, 12 June 2018.
