Maribyrnong Council’s financial vision for the next decade has been formally adopted following feedback from the community.
The ‘Long Term Financial Plan’, adopted at last week’s council meeting, considers the current financial situation and future projections to support delivery of priority projects, initiatives and programs over the next 10 years.
The plan will assist the council in its long term and financial planning to deliver services, maintain assets and achieve strategic objectives in a financially sustainable manner.
It was adopted after more than 335 comments came in from the community.
Resident feedback focused on supporting increased spending in areas such as community centres, early years, health and wellbeing and youth services as well as parks, open spaces, waste management, active transport and open space planning.
The council is required under the Local Government Act 2020 to deliver a Financial Plan that covers a 10-year period.
