About the draft 

The draft budget includes an investment of $44 million in capital works projects for the upcoming fiscal year. This budget will fund the construction, renovation, and maintenance of infrastructure for our community such as roads, buildings, parks, playgrounds, sporting reserves, and other public facilities. Among other things, the budget includes the following key projects:

  • Completing the duplication of Hammond Road, Success - $1m (total $22.6m)
  • Finalising preliminary planning and commencing construction works at Beale Park, Spearwood - $1.18m
  • New lighting and parking upgrades at Santich Park, Munster - $1.2m

  • Design for stage two of the new Cockburn Resource Recovery Precinct, Henderson - $1.5m

We have prioritised these projects considering the current global economic conditions while aligning them with our long-term plans and strategies. The draft capital works budget will undergo deliberation by Council at the June Special Council meeting, so it may be subject to change.

    Thank you for your interest in the City's proposed capital works budget for the 2023-24 financial year.

    The Comment on Cockburn page received 254 visitors and 18 people made a submission or asked a question. The City compiled these responses and presented them in a report, alongside other information, at the June Special Council Meeting.

    Council adopted the budget

    Council has approved a $43.9 million capital works budget to invest in services, assets, and infrastructure for the Cockburn community throughout the 2023-24 financial year. Key projects include:

    • Enhancing community and sport facilities through $1.2 million upgrade at Beale Park.
    • Expanding the C.Y. O'Connor Beach fringing reef trial to protect our coastline with a budget of $0.9 million.
    • Strengthening our capacity for sustainable waste management by constructing a community drop-off facility, education centre, re-use shop, and weighbridge at the Cockburn Resource Recovery Precinct, with funding of $1.5 million.

    As a sensible response to the current economic climate characterised by high inflation and building costs, the City is prioritising the maintenance of existing assets and infrastructure over new projects. This will see 70 percent of the capital budget invested in maintaining and upgrading existing assets, compared to 30 percent allocated to delivering new assets.

    To ensure responsible financial management, the City is also deferring non-critical spending and implementing a phased approach for projects, spanning multiple years.
