Draft Delivery Program Operational Plan & Budget 2024/25

What does Council have planned for the future?

Council invites the community to provide feedback on our Draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan and Budget - 2024/25, which also includes Council's proposed Fees and Charges.

The draft Plan outlines how Council is working towards achieving the community’s aspirations and long-term vision for our City. This vision is outlined in our Community Strategic Plan - Shoalhaven 2032.

In response to an independent report of Council’s financial position in November 2023, Council is also working through a list of measures to increase revenue and decrease costs whilst continuing to provide works and services across the City and try to rebuild our cash reserves to respond to unforeseen events.
