Budget and delivery program now on public exhibition

Campbelltown residents can now have their say on Council’s draft Delivery Program 2022-26 and Operational Plan 2022-23 and draft Long-term Financial Plan 2022-32.

The $280 million budget sets out the projects, works and social programs and everyday activities that Council undertakes throughout the year.

The budget is headlined by a capital works program of $69.5 million, which includes $25.8 million for new roads and renewal of existing roads, bridges, bus shelters, cycleways, shared paths and car parks; as well as $7.9 million to upgrade existing play spaces, parks and reserves.

“This budget responds to the community’s aspirations expressed through our Community Strategic Plan and will be significant in helping our city continue its recovery following the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mayor George Greiss said.

“One of the key highlights of the budget that I am passionate about is the $2.4 million city amenity and appeal program which will see improvements to our public spaces that will elevate the visual appeal of our city,” Cr Greiss said.

“I encourage anyone with an interest in the direction of our city to view these important documents and have your say during the exhibition period,” he said.

Highlights of the Delivery Program and Operational Plan include:

The documents will be on public exhibition until Wednesday 25 May.
