Council is seeking feedback on its draft 2021/22 Budget.
What's in the Budget?
The rates, fees and charges for the coming year including:
- The rate in the dollar that is used to calculate rates for individual properties;
- A comprehensive list of identified capital works projects and programs for the shire to maintain and renew roads, bridges and footpaths, sporting facilities and playgrounds, irrigation and drainage.
- A detailed explanation of the funding we have allocated to enable the delivery of more than 100 council services including rubbish collection, immunisations, sports and recreation facilities, town planning and tourism development.
How much will my rates increase?
Your rates are calculated by multiplying the rate in the dollar (set by Council and detailed in the budget) by the value of your property (determined by the Victorian Government’s valuation process). Our budget will comply with the Victorian Government’s rate cap of 1.5%.
