Previous Council Consideration
The 2021/22 original budget was adopted by Council resolution on 30 June 2021 (Ref. Special
Meeting Minutes, 30 June 2021, Item 3, Page 3.
The 2021/22 budget review 2 (BR2) was adopted by Council resolution on 21 January 2022 (Ref.
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 22 January 2022, Item 5, Page 5).

Finance
The Revenue Policy and Statement is the head of power that allows Council to levy rates and
charges on an annual basis.
Risks & Opportunities
Adoption of the annual budget is required under section 107A of the Local Government Act 2009 to
provide Council the power to levy rates and charges, charge fees and expend funds on delivering
services to the community.

Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Council undertook budget engagement with the community for the 2022/23 budget, with input from
the previous 2021/22 budget consultation process as well as other recent key community surveys
including the Liveability Survey and Community Satisfaction Survey.

Specific local associations and ratepayer groups were also consulted where required with respect to
the development of special rates and levies for the 2022/23 financial year.

Internal Consultation
All areas of Council have been involved in the development of the proposed budget and a number
of workshops have been held with Councillors
