Budget overview 2023–2024

Delivering for our community

Burwood Council’s Budget 2023-24 and four year projections have been developed with a clear focus on delivering our community’s long term vision as outlined in the Burwood2036 Community Strategic Plan. The Operational Plan puts into action the objectives the community has identified as high priority and forms part of our Delivery Program 2022-2026.

The following major projects have been considered in the budget:

• Urban Park Arts and Cultural Centre

• Enfield Aquatic Centre upgrade

• WestInvest Capital Works projects

• Parks and Playground upgrades

• Ongoing infrastructure and renewal works

• Tree planting program

• Stormwater drainage upgrade

Funding our future

In addition to delivering these services to the community, Council is committed to maintaining long term financial sustainability and aims to achieve this through strategic planning and prudent investment.

To ensure Council continues to deliver services at its current level, Council has applied the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) Rate Peg of 3.7% for the 2023-24 financial year.
