Adopted 2020/2021 Council Budget
At its meeting on 23 June 2020, Council adopted the Budget 2020/21 and 2021/22 – 2023/2024 Strategic Resource Plan.
The $52 million Budget and the Strategic Resource Plan demonstrates fiscal restraint and a commitment to reducing financial stress for households, with a zero rate increase applied. A freeze on all Council Fees and Charges has also been included, ensuring no additional costs are passed on to residents.
Furthermore, Council’s annual capital works program will safeguard opportunities for local employment.
Local contractors, businesses and trades will be engaged in more than $15 million worth of key community initiatives, such as:
• Town beautification across Portland, Casterton and Heywood, including street lighting, furniture, signage and footpath works;
• Portland Foreshore improvements;
• Upgrades to infrastructure at the Casterton Saleyards;
• Development of tracks and trails networks as part of the recently endorsed Tracks and Trails Strategy
• Art facilities
