Council Budget

Pyrenees Shire Council 2025/26 Budget, was adopted on Monday 26 June 2024.

The Budget was prepared with a rate rise of three per cent in line with the Victorian Government’s rate cap and details the resources required over the next year to fund the large range of services the Council provides for our community. It also includes details of proposed capital expenditure allocations to improve and renew our Shire’s physical infrastructure, buildings, and operational assets as well as funding proposals for a range of operating projects.

In preparation of the 2025/26 Budget, Council has reviewed its 10-year Financial Plan to ensure the financial sustainability of the Council, not only in the short term but into the future.

The Budget had been prepared considering the latest economic factors and to ensure Council’s long-term financial sustainability.

As part of the Budget, Council will borrow $1 million for strategic capital works, including its vital bridge restrengthening program.

A key initiative in the Budget is also the delivery of stage one of the Burke Street Key Worker Accommodation in Beaufort, which will provide much needed housing stock for workers.

Amendments to the Revenue and Rating Plan have also been made to improve the equity in rates payable throughout the municipality, particularly for vacant land.
