Where was the budget spent?
Council spends significant amounts of ratepayer funds providing a range of services to the
Noosa community. A summary of the cost of the services for our major service areas is provided in
Figure 2. Spending on these services (including roads, bridges, parks, community facilities
and waste management) makes up a significant component of Council’s annual budget.
