Greater Dandenong City Council adopted its revised Council Plan 2021-25 , Annual Plan 2023-24, Budget 2023-24 and Long-Term Financial Plan 2024-33 at last week’s meeting.
The City’s CEO, Jacqui Weatherill (pictured), said Council’s strategic plans ensure long-term financial sustainability.
“Like many households and businesses, Council faces increased energy and construction costs. The key challenge over the next decade will be keeping rates affordable by meeting the Victorian Government imposed rate cap,”Ms Weatherill said.
Mayor, Cr Eden Foster, said the current economic climate will not restrict Council’s ambitions and expectations as to what can be achieved.
“Council is committed to making things better for our residents and to protect and enhance vital services in the City of Greater Dandenong,” Cr Foster said.
“Our capital program continues to invest in community facilities and infrastructure totalling more than $58 million in 2023-24.
“This will boost local construction and employment opportunities,” Cr Foster said.
