“It represents a tipping point where the future will be characterised by the increasingly difficult job of bridging the gap between the infrastructure and services the community expect and what Council can afford to deliver.”
The Mayor warned that through the development of the budget, it has become clear Council can’t continue to deliver the current levels of services and investment under the current funding model.
“We are leading the way through our Smart Cities program and investing in our technology and processes now, so we can deliver and meet the growing demands of a community tipped to exceed 500,000 residents by 2041.”
All residents are encouraged to check out the 2018-19 Draft Budget and have their say at www.caseyconversations.com.au by Friday 8 June 2018.
