    The 2019-20 Operational Plan and proposed Fees and Charges for 2019-20 are on exhibition, along with some minor changes to the Delivery Program.

    The Delivery Program sets out the seven Community Outcomes that Council is working towards, and the main things we will do over the four years from 2017-21 to help deliver them. We are making some minor changes to this document to respond to changes in State Government initiatives.

    Our 2019-20 Operational Plan is embedded within the Delivery Program. It sets out the activities, works program and budget for the period from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, and is made up of the 2019-20 actions, and the schedules at the back of the document.

    The Fees and Charges document lists all the fees and charges relating to the services Council provides, including cemeteries, children’s services, applications, facility hire, animal control and so on.
