THE City of Mount Gambier has released its draft 2025\/26 Annual Business Plan and Budget for public consultation so now is the time to have your say.<\/p>\n

The $52.2 million draft plan outlines council\u2019s key priorities, strategic projects and the continued delivery of essential services for the coming financial year.<\/p>\n

Council plans to deliver a balanced budget, a lower than forecast rate revenue increase, and a reduced Waste Service Charge (WSC) compared to previous projections in the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP).<\/p>\n

Council will maintain all community services, invest in asset renewal, tighten cost controls and strategically manage debt, with consideration to recommendations from the Essential Services Commission of South Australia (ESCOSA) and a continued commitment to good governance.<\/p>\n

The draft budget delivers a balanced financial outcome, with a total rate revenue increase of 8.18% (excluding predicted 0.5% growth). This is lower than previously forecast in the LTFP (8.4%), demonstrating Council\u2019s ongoing commitment to cost control, service delivery and responsible investment.<\/p>\n

City of Mount Gambier Mayor Lynette Martin OAM welcomed the draft financial blueprint.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant achievement, not only have we balanced the budget, but we\u2019ve also reduced the forecast rate burden compared to earlier long term financial projections,\u201d Maor Martin said. \u201cCareful financial management means we\u2019re delivering for the community now, while ensuring sustainability for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rate increase may result in around an additional $35.00 per quarter, including the Waste Service Charge, for the average residential ratepayer, noting that actual amounts will vary based on property value changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

City of Mount Gambier CEO Sarah Philpott highlighted improved financial planning outcomes across the life of the LTFP.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the life of the LTFP, the need for sharp rate increases is decreasing, and we\u2019re moving toward a position where reliance on the sustainability margin is lessened. We’re planning smarter and operating more efficiently,\u201d Ms Philpott said.<\/p>\n

The proposed Waste Service Charge (WSC) for 2025\/2026 is $344.00 per assessment, a 10.61% increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n

This is a result of unavoidable cost pressures in landfill and contract expenses, however, the charge is still below the amount previously forecast in the LTFP.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis adjustment ensures full cost recovery but is lower than expected due to our proactive budgeting and contract management,\u201d the CEO said.<\/p>\n

The draft budget is shaped by current economic conditions, community expectations and recent recommendations from the Essential Services Commission of South Australia (ESCOSA).<\/p>\n

Council continues to maintain all services and invest in vital infrastructure with a focus on renewing and maintaining existing assets, rather than expanding the asset base unnecessarily. This aligns with ESCOSA\u2019s recommendations, including reforms to capital planning, enhanced debt management, and tighter cost controls.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve made deliberate choices to invest in what we already have and what the community values,\u201d Ms Philpott said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur asset maintenance and renewal program is positive, our loan portfolio is being managed carefully to reduce long-term interest burdens, and our focus is on delivering essential services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Council has also released its draft Long Term Financial Plan 2026\u20132035 for community consultation.<\/p>\n

The plan demonstrates that council is on track to meet key financial sustainability targets, including an operating surplus by 2027, reflecting strong financial management, refined budgeting practices, improved asset management, and a commitment to long-term planning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis plan is an important tool that ensures we\u2019re thinking ahead, planning responsibly, and staying aligned with the community\u2019s needs and expectations,\u201d Ms Philpott said. \u201cWe review this plan every year to keep it relevant and responsive \u2013 because good financial planning isn\u2019t just about numbers, it\u2019s about building a sustainable future for our city.\u201d<\/p>\n
