This Budget has been shaped by several significant challenges in our region, particularly the need for extensive repairs to our road network after severe flooding, and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, which continue to hamper day-to-day operations for our suppliers and employees.
Despite these challenges, we are focused on building a strong future for the Scenic Rim and delivering the best value for our ratepayers. Our budget deliberations have been single-minded in determining how we can best use our resources to serve the ratepayers across our region.
Our community has a shared vision, articulated in our Community Plan 2011-2026. We continue to rise to the challenge of balancing these aspirations with the pressures of maintaining $1 billion in public assets and protecting our financial sustainability for future.
