Have your say on the 2021/22 Finance Revenue Policy

Lithgow City Council has endorsed its Draft 2021/22 Operational Plan and Schedule of Fees & Charges.  We invite all residents of the Lithgow LGA to get involved and have their say on the future direction of the area.

Council`s planned revenue and expenditure for 2021/22 is outlined in the Revenue Policy section of the Operational Plan.

Council expects to receive $65.6M of income in the 2021/22 year and to spend these funds on the delivery of services to the Lithgow LGA community, as well renewing assets and building new infrastructure. Council will spend $47.8M on recurrent programs and $26M on capital works.

In challenging economic times, Council has actively sought grant-funding opportunities to increase our revenue and provide quality infrastructure and services for our community.  In the 2021/22 year, Council anticipates that operating grants will provide $8.4M (13% of revenue) and capital grants around $19M (28% of revenue). Grant funding reduces the burden on ratepayers to fund the breadth of Council`s activities.   

The Revenue Policy also sets out Council`s key charges for the 2021 year:

Ordinary rates; Parking special rate (Lithgow CBD businesses); Sewerage charges; Stormwater charges; Waste charges; Water charges; and Septic tank charges.

 Council’s Chief Financial and Information Officer, Ross Gurney, will be conducting a live Facebook event on Tuesday, 4th May at 3pm to present the 2021/22 Finance Revenue Policy and provide information on Council`s financial position.  Members of the community are invited to register for the event via Facebook.  The event will also be recorded and available for viewing on Council’s website for those unable to attend the live session.  Questions about Council’s Finance Revenue Policy can be emailed to [email protected] or via the facebook event.

Where can I view a hard copy of the Operational Plan?

Copies of the Draft Operational Plan and Fees & Charges are available for viewing at the Council Administration Centre and Lithgow, Wallerawang & Portland Libraries.
