    Council has adopted the Annual Budget 2022-23

    In a year when the nation is facing high inflation, rising interest rates and increased construction costs, the City’s rates continue to be some of the lowest in Perth. At the same time, we continue to deliver ratepayers value for money through high-quality services and facilities.

    Council met on Thursday 23 June to consider the draft capital works budget and differential rates proposed for 2022-23. A decision was made to:

    • Adopt the 2022-23 Annual Budget, and
    • Adopt the following differential general and minimum rates on Gross Rental and Unimproved Values:

    • Smart LED streetlight replacement - $12.06m

    • 16 playground renewals - $0.492m
    • Urban Forrest Plan (shade cover in Cockburn) & streetscapes - $1.1m

    As a sensible response to the prevailing market conditions the City has deferred several capital works projects originally expected for delivery in 2022-23. Costs for capital works projects are coming in at between 25% to 50% higher than previous estimates, substantially increasing the total cost of the project. Deferring projects until market conditions become more favourable is financially prudent when managing ratepayer funded projects.
