Budget 22

We budget for a whole host of services to keep our community thriving. We manage and maintain parks, play equipment, sporting grounds and recreation and community centres. We are invested in community safety, by providing 24/7 safety patrols, enhancing CCTV infrastructure and building safer roads and pathways. 

We have allocated a budget for 2022/23 of $235 million to keep things running, so our community can enjoy the many services and facilities that make Our City a great place to live. To learn more about the costs of running Our City, see the examples below.
