Annual Business Plan & Budget

2026/27 Annual Business Plan

This Plan has been developed to deliver services, facilities and programs that support our community and businesses over the next financial year.

The 2026/27 Annual Business Plan will be funded by an average rate increase of 4.9%, which is the current CPI for the March 2026 quarter. This balanced increase ensures the Council's financial sustainability without compromising essential services or future planning.

This Annual Business Plan incorporates:

• Council's ongoing progress with major projects in the Township, including the upgrade of the Walkerville Sports Club, upgrades to Levi Oval and the commencement of early-stage initiatives for the revitalisation of Walkerville Terrace;
• installing and monitoring CCTV in strategic locations to deter criminal activity;
• undertaking detailed design for Council's Fuller Street works depot;
• establishing a community garden at The W: Walkerville Recreation Centre;
• park furniture and bin upgrades;
• a range of events and activity opportunities within the Township; and
• the continuation of regular Council services and amenities.

The 2026/27 Annual Business Plan was open for public consultation from 27 May 2026 to 16 June 2026 and a total of nine submissions were received.

The Plan was endorsed at the Special Council Meeting on 29 June 2026.
