Draft Financial Plan out for feedback

Council’s Draft Long Term Financial Plan is now on public exhibition, and community members are invited to review the document and provide feedback. 

This 10-year plan outlines how Council will responsibly manage its financial resources to deliver on the goals of the Council and Wellbeing Plan 2025–2029 and build a thriving Glenelg—now and into the future. 

Developed using insights from recent community engagement, the plan reflects local aspirations while ensuring long-term financial sustainability. It identifies key financial risks, influences, and performance projections, and serves as a roadmap to guide decisions and adapt to change. 

Chief Executive Officer Helen Havercroft said the plan is a vital step in aligning Council’s financial direction with community priorities. 

“The Long Term Financial Plan is a critical tool that enables Council to plan responsibly, invest strategically, and deliver on the priorities identified by our community,” Ms Havercroft said. “It provides a clear framework for financial sustainability over the next decade, ensuring we can continue to support the well-being of our residents and the growth of our region.” 

Why it matters: 

  • The plan is shaped by community feedback from the Council and Wellbeing Plan.
  • It outlines key financial risks, influences, and performance projections.
  • It provides a framework to guide Council’s financial decisions over the next decade.

How to get involved: 

All feedback must be received by 5:00pm, Wednesday 15 October 2025.
