Budget 2020
The municipal budget is the most important policy document approved by Council. It is developed and approved annually to finance the delivery of programs and services to the community according to Councilspecified service levels. Preparation of the corporate budget is one of the most critical initiatives undertaken by Administration as it acts as the fiscal plan that provides the resources required to make progress towards achieving the community vision and Council priorities.
