“This report reflects the effort and dedication of our staff and elected members towards delivering tangible results for our ratepayers and residents. From the completion of the water trunk main replacement programme, improvements to our roading network and continued investment in stormwater infrastructure, we are proud of the progress made in 2025-26.”
Council closed the year with an operating surplus of $2.6 million, which is $6.0 million lower compared to the Long-Term Plan Year 1 budget of $8.6 million.
