Goondiwindi Regional Council will remain debt free for the upcoming financial year.
Mayor Lawrence Springborg announced details of the budget yesterday, saying total operational expenditure will be at 38.8 million dollars, with a capital expenditure of 17.3 million.
“We were able to achieve hundreds of community projects across the region last year – from upgrading small halls to safety improvements at local parks
“I’m pleased to confirm that, once again, Council’s planned expenditure will be shared across every community in the region, from Daymar in the west to Cement Mills in the east”.
There’ll be a general rates increase of 2.2% for those who participate in the early payment discount.
The rise is well below the average rates increase, announced by other Queensland councils.
“We are able to keep rate rises so competitive despite continually rising costs. However, we continue to face tremendous pressure to continually improve and extend our service delivery”.
Details of the Goondiwindi budget can be found on Council’s website.
