Annual Business Plan 2026/27

Background

Each year, we share our Draft Annual Business Plan and invite community feedback on our plan. The Annual Business Plan sets out the services, projects and priorities we're proposing to deliver in the year ahead, and how we plan to invest in our City's future.

The plan is guided by:

  • Our Community Plan which sets the vision for our community and organisation; and
  • Our overall planning framework (Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP)) which sets strategic directions over the medium and long term and converts these into annual actions and outcomes.
Our Community Plan Vision and Themes

Community Consultation

In April each year we invite our residents, ratepayers and businesses to take a look at our Draft Annual Business Plan and provide feedback on the suggested annual actions and outcomes. Your feedback helps shape the decisions we make for the year ahead and ensures our plans reflects the needs, values and priorities of our community.

Community consultation on this year's draft plan will start on Wednesday 15 April and end on Friday 8 May 2026.
