    2024–2025 Budget

    Our 2024–25 Budget was adopted at our June Council meeting. The Budget balances new initiatives, quality service delivery and financially sustainable.

    The 2024–2025 Budget will help our City grow and face future challenges

    The Budget outlines the resources we need to fund the large range of services we provide to the community. It also details the capital spending needed to improve and renew our City’s infrastructure, buildings and operational assets. Additionally, it includes our plans for investing in technology and other improvements to ensure we continue delivering high-quality, responsive and accessible services at a reasonable cost.

    We remain committed to using ratepayer revenue responsibly and generating extra income to invest in maintaining and improving our community services, infrastructure and facilities. We are also committed to engaging with the community while delivering quality projects and services that make our City a great place to live, work and do business.

    Our Budget and Financial Plan allocate funds for our climate emergency response including investment in emissions reduction, urban greening and transition to a circular economy.

    We will continue to plant trees to increase our City’s canopy cover and carryout upgrades and renewals of community and sports facilities, including completing the Carnegie Memorial Swimming Pool.

    We’ve allocated $35.1 million for asset renewals, upgrades and expansions. The funds will go towards renewing and upgrading major infrastructure assets including road reconstruction, drainage improvement and footpaths.

    We’ll also fund our Open Space Strategy initiatives including parks, playing surfaces and playground equipment.

    For the 2024–25 year, the Budget has been prepared in accordance with the Victorian Government’s Fair Go Rates system and the rate will increase by 2.75 per cent.

    Draft Budget 2025–2026

    Our Budget is our 12-month roadmap of how we’ll invest in making Glen Eira a great place to live, work and visit by continuing to provide highly valued, financially sustainable services.

    It reflects a rate cap of three per cent — the maximum percentage increase allowed for the average rate collection — set by the Minister for Local Government.

    With your feedback in mind, through the Budget we will:

    • make ongoing improvements and upgrades to community facilities, with $4.7 million planned to be spent on facilities, including sports facilities and the Mackie Road Reserve Pavilion
    • significantly invest in climate and sustainability initiatives, with over earmarked for projects like the electrification of Glen Eira Sports and Aquatic Centre and our annual tree planting program
    • focus on strengthening community safety, with nearly $700,000 allocated for projects like pedestrian crossings, school safety and sustainable transport upgrades.
