Background
The engagement period focussed on the seeking feedback on the Draft Annual Business Plan 2023-2024;
The Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget 2023-2024 shows how Council proposes to manage its annual $105 million budget to deliver quality services while maintaining close to $1.2 billion in assets across the council area.
Additionally, Council proposes to invest $50.7m in capital works including community and sporting facilities, playgrounds, and capital work programs including stormwater upgrades, footpaths, and road upgrades. This total proposed spend is made up of $19.3m for the renewal of assets and $31.4m for new and upgraded assets. Council incorporated $10.1m in capital grants and contributions from State and Federal governments towards new capital projects.
The City of Marion like many organisations is dealing with highly challenging market conditions and inflationary pressures not seen for many years (Adelaide Year on Year CPI to March 2023 is recorded at 7.9%). In developing the Draft Annual Business Plan and Budget 2023-24 and Councils Long term Financial Plan we have been mindful of current market conditions and developed these Plans to ensure continuity of services and project delivery in a financially sustainable way. Considerable work has been undertaken to also set a rate increase that balances the impact on our community without compromising on operational service or capital project delivery while also maintaining a long term financially sustainable position for the City of Marion.
Council is proposing a 5.2% average rate increase for the coming year, this is well below the current rate of inflation and will be one of the lowest average rate increases in metropolitan Adelaide. Property owners may experience variation in that figure due to changing property values which are outside of the Council's control.
Council is keeping rates as low as possible whilst delivering necessary projects that will deliver much-needed upgrades to community facilities and improve the environmental sustainability of our community. Council will maintain all service levels.
