The Operational Plan for 2022/2023 has now been adopted by Council and is available to view on Council’s website. “The Operational Plan provides the community with an overview of the projects, programs and activities that Council will deliver in the next financial year ending 30 June 2023, along with proposed fees and charges and annual donations,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “Council sought feedback from the community in relation to the proposed Operational Plan.” “Council appreciated the feedback that was received, it is important to seek the views of the community” said Cr Doolan. Included in the 2022/23 Operational Plan Budget is: • Roads Improvement and Renewal – Local ($2.6M) and Regional ($1.9M). • Plant and Equipment Improvement and Renewal – ($2.2M). • Urban Services including Town Streets related works (Includes trees/gardens, footpaths, kerb and gutter, drainage, pavements), Ovals, Parks, Swimming Pools and other amenities improvements – ($3M). • Improvements to Council Offices and Other Property, Public Halls and Cemetery Equipment Improvements – ($2.2M) • Tourism and Development related improvements – ($750K). • Rural Fire Services Vehicles and Enhancements – ($1.4M). • Water ($4.1M), Sewer ($4.3M) and Waste Services ($50K) capital related improvements. To fund these works, as well as ongoing services and activities, Council has adopted a number of increases in rates and fees and charges in 2022/23. “We understand the past few years have been difficult for some of our community members and increases have been kept as low as possible while at the same time recognising the need for necessary works to be carried out to our infrastructure,” Cr Doolan explained. The new financial year fees and charges for Council were also adopted as part of the 2022/2023 Revenue Policy and they can be found on Council’s website under the Integrated Planning and Reporting Tab at www.warrumbungle.nsw.gov.au
