How we spend your money

We spend money on a wide range of services and infrastructure, including:

• maintaining roads, parks and public spaces
• providing social services, such as housing and welfare support
• funding local schools and libraries

Additionally, we invest in public safety, waste management, and environmental initiatives to create sustainable and safe environments for our residents – see what do we do.

By carefully budgeting and prioritising how we spend your money, we aim to meet the diverse needs of our communities while promoting economic growth and social cohesion.

How our budgets are made up

We have complex budgets that consist of various funding sources and expenditures. Understanding how these budgets are made up involves looking at both the revenue sources and the areas where the money is spent:

• revenue sources
• key expenditure areas
• capital funding
