Gannawarra Shire Council’s long-term financial sustainability is outlined in a 10-year plan adopted by Council at its October 2021 meeting.
A requirement of the Local Government Act 2020, the Gannawarra Shire Council Financial Plan 2021/22 to 2030/31 provides a 10-year financially sustainable projection regarding how the actions of the Growing Gannawarra – 2021-2025 Council Plan may be funded to achieve the Gannawarra’s long term Community Vision.
“Council thanks all residents who took the time to look at the draft version of the Gannawarra Shire Council Financial Plan 2021/22 to 2030/31 between late August and late September, with two submissions received during the public comment period,” Mayor Charlie Gillingham said.
The Gannawarra Shire Council Financial Plan 2021/22 to 2030/31 is built on four key strategic actions - balancing the budget; maintaining assets; ensuring a low level of debt; and ensuring cash assets are maintained over the life of the 10-year plan.
“Although the Gannawarra Shire Council Financial Plan 2021/22 to 2030/31 is influenced by the adopted 2021/2022 Budget and Council’s Revenue and Rating Plan, it is based on current economic assumptions and will be continually reviewed into the future,” Mayor Gillingham said.
