The Whitehorse City Council Financial Plan outlines our financial strategy and provides a clear roadmap for how Council will responsibly manage resources to deliver high-quality services, infrastructure, and community facilities in a financially sustainable way, over the next 10 years.
This Financial Plan builds on the foundations of the 2025/26 Budget and extends key assumptions and parameters over a 10-year horizon. The Financial Plan is reviewed annually to reflect changing economic conditions and community priorities and formally published every four years, in line with the Local Government Act 2020.
The Financial Plan is a balanced and financially responsible plan. It aims to balance the community’s needs and ensure that Council continues to be financially sustainable in the long term, as well as reflecting Council’s commitment to sustainable asset renewal and maintenance of the community’s assets.
Key highlights
Some of the key highlights from our Financial Plan include:
- $2.90 billion operational budget for the continued delivery of a wide range of our services to the community over the next 10 years
- $845 million capital works program to renew and improve Whitehorse community facilities and infrastructure
