2. A Draft Budget 2017/2018 - describes the services and initiatives which contribute to achieving the objectives specified in the Council Plan

3. A Draft Rating Strategy - determines how Council will raise money from properties within the municipality

These three strategic documents are now out on public exhibition and can be viewed on Council’s website www.ararat.vic.gov.au or at the Municipal Offices.
