Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget 2024-2025

This Consultation has now closed.

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget 2024-25.

The Annual Business Plan and Budget is our way to ensure that we continue to develop and maintain essential infrastructure services such as roads, footpaths, bridges, public toilets and open spaces as well as providing important services including libraries, health, planning, support services and waste collection.

Our focus in 2024-25 is on supporting and strengthening our community, environment and region by developing a responsible budget which recognises our unique constraints and is geared towards delivering essential services, prudent resource management, and sustainability.

Some of our key projects and activities planned for 2024/25 include:

• Extending the Amy Gillett Bikeway from Mount Torrens to Birdwood
• Implementing technology upgrades to improve the customer experience
• Setting goals and a pathway to achieving net zero corporate carbon emissions
• Installing a splash park at the Adelaide Hills War Memorial Swimming Centre

We wish to know if our focus is in the right area before we finalise the plan and start work.
