Budget

Report cover website mockups.png

Each financial year Council prepares a budget that outlines the financial resources needed to implement the key priorities from the Council Plan. The budget is presented in June each year for the financial year ahead.

It includes information about:

  • rates and charges to be levied
  • new initiative funding
  • operating result
  • cash and investments
  • capital works
  • financial position
  • financial sustainability.

Despite ongoing pressures such as grant uncertainty, rising costs, and additional responsibilities placed on local councils, West Wimmera Shire Council remains committed to maintaining essential services and delivering modern infrastructure while maintaining fiscal responsibility.  

Council will continue advocating for fairer funding for rural communities and working towards long-term financial stability.
